wouldn't grounding a dipole result in the transmitter seeing it as part of 
the antenna?
Basically rendering the antenna useless...
Now, grounding the feedline during big storms is a good idea to help protect 
your radio equipment from static discharge...But grounding the shield of the 
feedline during regular operation would, to me, seem like it would cause 
more problems than not.
