I've always wondered about this. Why do people quote themselves? Why don't they just write it? Isn't it the job of someone else to quote you?
Like if I thought that modeling is an extension of the soul.
Wouldn't I just say--
Modeling is an extension of the soul.
And the someone could quote me...
What is the point of writing, "Modeling is an extension of the soul." -Me
It just seems redundant.

It just seems redundant. they want to feel special in that they believe that may have spoken the words first. Same as copywriting things.

They're afraid that if they say something clever people will assume they copied it from somewhere.

It just seems redundant. To avoid being called on repeating myself, when I say something that is relevant in a discussion, but I know I expressed the thought well somewhere else, I will say "as I said in [another thread]... quote..."
Maybe it's pretentious, but that's how I use my own quotes.

Then there are people who quote their posts from years-old threads, taking it to a whole 'nother level.

I'm mainly talking about in profiles and such.

I agree. If you're saying it, don't add quotes, and certainly don't add "me" at the end.
Doing so implies the writer is so impressed with their thoughts, they feel others may wish to know who came up with such insightful words. Adding quotes is unnecessary. Adding me is unnecessary. Just say it.

It takes at least two for redundancy.
Plus, DRDs are cute.
