I have NO problem quoting my own previous body of work!

Plagiarism is wrong because it involves stealing another person's intellectual property (their words and/or ideas).
To plagiarize is also to cheat yourself. In their book Thinking on Paper (1986, William Morrow and Company, Inc., New York), writers V.A. Howard and J.H. Barton argue that "writing is finding ideas," that writing is a way "to discover and to identify your thoughts" (29). It follows, then, that if you want to learn and grow as a thinker, you need to write.

I don't care much, since they gave me the information I couldn't find

Yes, but only if a person doesn't cite their sources.
But I really am this clever. :-))
