I know, and it's not something I obsess about, just something I do to get them back to square one. When you run them, some air gets in(a lot with these shocks), but then the shock becomes pressurized at full compression, and it starts to force some oil out, you run it again and more air gets in, pressure builds and more oil gets out, but it never happens evenly. If you bleed the air out after every run it doesn't happen nearly as fast but it still does.
To each his own I guess, but I like to keep my shocks relatively even and consistent, and I prefer the more predictable feel of little to no air. I just wanted to share what I do that makes things easier for me, because I know there are a lot of people that choose to run them like this.
