FLASHING TO STOCK JUST TO FLASH CUSTOM ROM's

Startup animations and settings are part of the new ROM.

LOL, you are right around the mis-information, because almost your entire post is misinformation (you are right about radios ALMOST always being a separate flash).

A stock ROM will reset everything (radio, startup, settings, etc) to stock (i.e., not someone's custom versions). If you just move to another custom ROM, you can have the radio from the old ROM (or old radio if you flashed one seperate), the old startup animations, or other things residual from the previous ROM. A new ROM does NOT change these things by default, ONLY if the chef explicitly puts them in.

You should try cooking, flashing, and learning for a bit longer before you say things that can have an impact on people. I know what I said is true because I have had it happen to me several times, which is why I now flash to stock between different ROMs and recommend everyone else do the same. I have had old startup animations and residual files that corrupted the next ROM I put on. Also, the stock ROM for my Vogue resets the radio to stock also.

If someone has an issue with a ROM, I WILL NOT help them until they have flashed to stock first and reflashed (unless it is an obvious issue).
