I dunno (I'm assuming here the headline is a key feature of your ad) do you really think a quote you forgot even existed defines you well?
Reading the quote I immediately thought of Larry Wall and his bit about lazy programmers. Reading your blog I had already put myself in the right context, because I know you as a computer scientist. However, how is the random match.com reader going to be in that context? You don't want to exclude the pool of people you'd be very happy with just because they aren't quick to think of all that your headline might mean. I mean, rather than having a litmus test it should be more of an interactive process.
But maybe I'm just over-reacting here.
But I do enjoy the idea of giving kudos to the past you. I have done the same a couple of times.
