You CAN use them all, but you can also use nylon for all BUT ONE. They are all tied to ground, but only one needs to be to properly install it into a case. This assumes that the case is metallic, since some are not these days.

Covers Power supplies, cases, FCC Rule 15 compliance, emissions standards... things like that. But YOU should already be familiar with many of the standards, and especially the one which would require tying the motherboard ground plane to the chassis. YOU should already know all about why and the post should never have been made. Then, there is basic common sense to follow as well. You seem to lack any modicum of that as well.
