I doubt that it is the club because I had it at every club and in my house and I know that everything is grounded right in the house because I wired it myself. Dell told me that unless lightning strikes the club I will be fine running the way I do now.

Yes they work, but is also dangerous, I could care less about the equipment, but to the human that is operating it. Something spikes & there is no ground prong /wire to default to, it could shoot back through your system & straight to the person holding the mic - they are now the ground. And if it doesn't kill them, they are going to suing the person who removed that ground prong while they are recovering.
Just something to think about, doesn't happen often, but yes it can & does happen, do you really want to risk it?
There are plenty of SAFE ways to remove a ground, sure they cost a bit more, but will keep the ground completely intact while completely eliminating the hum!
