I'd disagree, and state that it's exactly the sort of effort you'd expect if you were to assume sophisticated character assasination is the order of the day. The alternative is to assume that Assange did create a public profile (when many are private), completed numerous dating site 'tests' (backed by what many HN people would consider are very unsophisticated algorithms), and left it on display for 5 years, undetected until now. I'm inclined to eliminate the alternative as impossible.
