How Quotable Are You?

I often get quoted to be honest. Not going to go back and count them, but I get quoted almost everyday.
The quote feature was introduced a year ago so I'm only going to go with 12 months, so I get 40.3 to 1 DP. I had it turned off for a few months but, whatever. I actually don't like getting quoted, it feels weird when someone makes a post directed at you. 100 times more so with a Private Message which is only for you (maybe).
When someone quotes me, its more often then not because I've pissed them off in some way with my opinion. Can I help it that I bring a large helping of logic to otherwise senseless conversations with no factual basis?
50 quotes out of 381 posts, got quoted and complimented on my first post, maybe that's why I'm still around.
But I don't often posts something original, humorous or insightful enough to be quoted, it just randomly happens from time to time.

1201/8,5 = around 141 per month. Apparently, I'm very interesting.
If we are to be more precise with how quotable I am, let's take my total post count divided with my quote count. So 3690/1201 = around 1 quote for every third post.

I think it shouldn't be how long you're here but for how many posts you have overall, how many of them were quoted. That seems more logical.
Also people who quote others first are more likely to get replied to, rather than someone just quoting you because you are particularly quotable.
