I'm only active in three online fora, but this pattern is used quite a lot on all three of the fora that I frequent.
I quote myself -- sometimes just in part -- to provide some continuity in the information I'm sharing with the others in the forum. Just like I quote another member's post and then immediately follow with my comments, I'll quote myself. It also provides a linked thread of posts -- had you noticed that you can click icon in the quote to go back to the quoted post?
