  True, do not ground to neutral. However,  you must ground everything to
the power ground to prevent possible injury or electrocution. This is why
the National Electrical Code makes grounding mandatory. If there is an RF
problem it should be corrected in other ways, such as with the proper line
filters,  shielding, etc.
