I truthfully don't understand what you're all worked up about. I pointed out the jailbreak thing because I really didn't know if by that you meant rooting, unlocking the bootloader, installing custom firmware, or what. I think it's important to get the terminology right when talking to people who are new to this, due to the fact that most of the knowledge they accumulate is found through internet searches, where using the right words are important.

As for your hackintosh statement, that very much depends on your phone and what ROM you're talking about. If you're flashing a new nightly every night, then my "keep an eye out" statement is worth attacking, because yes, it is more high-maintenance. That said, I'm not sure when your last foray into CM was, but for the past couple years, if you found one nightly or stable release that worked, you'd be good. Better than stock. Not necessarily so for other ROMs, but definitely so for CM.

Also, the difference between CM and CyanogenOS and the company are incredibly simple. I only explained them because you mischaracterized them by conflating CyanogenOS and CyanogenMod. All that said, I don't think we have anything to argue about that isn't pedantic. I was just trying to help him out by clearing a few things up, not trying to bust your balls.
