Not me.......the brakes.

Here is my method. pump em, hold em and open the bleed nut, let the pedal go to the floor, close bleed nut and repeat until the brakes feel like they are getting less spungy.

My question is should I be doing anything else?

Also should I bleed the brakes with or without the brake fluid resivoir cap on? I currently leave the cap on. Of course I refill the resivoir afterwards.

I have used the same method as you Dave, it works for me. I always put the cap on the res. when doing it, not sure if you have to or not but that is the way I have always done it.

I do believe you should have the cap on. Otherwise you can get more air into the lines. At least that is what I have been told.
