Why does yahoo answers have "add as a contact" under my own profile?

When I try to click on the words "add as a contact", it says that a user cannot add themselves as a contact! I thought maybe I was adding someone else; why is it even there?

Update:

I only see it when I click on a link in the email yahoo sends me. It says click here to add so and so as a contact! When I click it, it shows my name and under it says "add as a contact!" I guess it is because I added the user first and the person is now a contact instead of me being the fan to this person, but it does not tell me that.

    It only says that on mine when I click on Public View of My Profile. Then it shows whatever anyone visiting your profile would see.
