A installer (tech?) that was here a year ago attached a new grounding block to the wall and left the old one just hanging there with the ground wire still attached. I'm not messing around with the messenger cable at all, I was only curious
if it should have been grounded.

The 6 gauge wire has to be bare copper and kept underground outside right? If so, as much as I'd love to attach the grounding rod to the cold water pipe, that would require more effort than I'm willing to do (no way I'm digging a 6ft hole in the front lawn).
Although if it's ok to run of jacketed 6 gauge through a hole in a basement window frame and to the water pipe; that is very do-able.
