No worries, glad I could help. And yeah that fluid looks like it definitely needs to be flushed judging from the picture. Alot of that "sludge" is from the fluid getting really hot, thats particles, imperfections, and other goo in the brake fluid that been burnt. All that stuff will cause the fluid to boil off at the calipers at a lower temp leading to brake fade or failure all together. Its not too much of an issue here in Nevada, but older fluid has also collected moisture, which also lowers the boiling point.
