Gee, that must take about 10-15 sec. to rise with alcohol and wipe dry with a paper towel, even after using the Super Blue.

I may be being over cautious but this seems the best way to ensure good clean fluid with minimum exposure to atmosphere and pollutants.
It is more than being "over cautious", it is both a waste of time as testing fresh fluid coming out of the caliper bleeders shows there is no contamination or moisture pickup (we tested the theory on a car to show a concerned customer that going to all the folderol he read about on the internet was unnecessary), and it adds the risk of potentially dribbling brake fluid on to something it should not get on, like your paint work.

At the end of the day, it is your car, so feel free to go about the flush in any way that makes you feel better about it, just don't expect to gain anything by it......
