Question about flashing roms and memory card issues

[themuffinman]

I have been reading so many posts about memory card issues when flashing the latest 6.1 roms. So I guess my question to everyone is do you flash a rom with your memory card still in the phone or do you take it out first. I am currently using dcds223 rom and I haven't had any problems whatsoever with the rom but over at xda's there are numerous issues with storage cards and it was even recommended to back up your storage card before flashing. Everytime I flash a rom I always remove my card, I don't know, just a thought I guess since I haven't been having any problems at all even when trying to duplicate those problems.
