Understood.  One of my pet peives on this list is the distribution of 
incorrect advice given as "expert".  Your method may work, I never said it 
didn't, what I did say is that the VW recommended way also does work and is 
not incorrect or harmful to the master cylinder.  If you have debris in you 
lines, your not maintaining them as they should be, (flushed, etc.) and you 
may also damage your calipers, which are sometimes more expensive than your 
master cylinder.    

To sum up, it's a bad idea to tell someone looking for advice that the 
manufacturer method of bleeding their brakes will ruin their master cylinder. 
I you feel that it may, in your experience, please qualify your opinions.  
What's more, don't assume that anyone who disagrees with you is uninformed on 
the subject.  

One of the GREAT  things about this list is that it allows everyone to feel 
like they're an expert. ;-)
