I love your post! I haven't been on the site that long, but I also noticed these profile goofs.
As for long profiles scaring off people, I suppose it would scare off people with short attention spans. Long profiles don't scare me off. I actually read them when I get a message from such a guy. Content is more important than length in this case.
And I am also getting really annoyed by the mails immediately asking to chat via yahoo or msn, sometimes with manipulative tricks to pressure me into doing that asap. Had one guy pull that on me today. Trying to control my behavior is a surefire way to make sure I will not be chatting with you.
Marketing yourself is the way of the world. Maybe some people are uncomfortable with that concept, but that's just a matter of being aware of what you're actually doing. You do it for every job interview, and using this site is like a job interview isn't it. Finding the right man for the job...
