So this is a response to the review on April 17th, 2010. I'm glad you found someone incredible. However, if you read the reviews there are many people who's been on eHarmony for 1 year or more. I've personally tried eHarmony for 6 months.

It looks like you got lucky and I'm happy for you. As long as you see eHarmony as yet another way to meet people I think your assesment is fair.

However, I'd like to point you to a study done by National Geographic:

If you happen to be in a city where the number of guys far outweigh the number of single girls - the reality is eHarmony doesn't really help the guy. (and vice versa) There is an amplification effect on the internet where the inequiality in gender further amplifies on dating sites. The gender in disfavor ends up being suckered. The gender in demand gets a incredible deal. It's simply a law of supply and demand in action on speed. Ofcourse there are exceptions such as your case.

I'm not against eHarmony, I and many many others just didn't have a positive experience with it. It has nothing to do with having an open mind or length of the membership. Clearly people have an open mind if they are willing to try eharmony and there are many people who tried it for months and years without success.

It comes down to law of supply and demand. Chances are if you're in favor you won't need eHarmony in the first place. If your gender is not in favor (in your state), eHarmony does very little to help.
