Clutch bleed gone bad?

Well, I pumped it rapidly per xv's instructions in another thread, and that seems to have done the trick. I didn't know what it would be like until I started the trip home this morning, but it feels normal... engages about 1/3-1/2 of the way up (as it did before), and only an inch or so of play at the top (as usual). Gear changes are also a bit smoother.
I don't think it was a matter of getting all the air out. That pumping thing is to load up more fluid downstream of the master plunger. Because we have to manually lift the pedal (unlike the brake that comes up by itself), there seems to be a bit of "slack" (for lack of a better word) at the top of the pedal travel. "Bouncing" it seems to push that extra little bit of fluid to take up the "slack". Sorry for not having a better rational explanation for it.

On a side note, can ATE Super Blue be used as a clutch fluid?
Caution: wait for other opinions just in case I'm smoking crack.
