An excess of information in a personal profile almost always leads to undesired contact,

I think that would depend greatly on the nature of the venue.

My bbs profile is filled out in its entirety, and I think in the last three and a half years I have received perhaps two unsolicited contacts based on that profile information, and I wouldn't categorize either of those contacts as "undesired".

One of the contacts was the result of a Google search that picked up the word "ShoWagon" from the bbs which then led to me, so I got to chat with another ShoWagon owner.
