I don't think the responses were made to disparage your installation. Your original post indicated a plan to buy UL listed components and do the installation yourself. Others have posted links to the science behind installing lightning protection. I think there is a possibility of someone taking your idea, installing those components, and thinking they have provided protection when they really haven't protected the home at all.
