 * As someone who uses blockquotes intensively, it would be of enormous help if 
   I could find a plugin or browser add on which allowed me, in one step, to paste
   text from clipboard into the post edit box along with the blockquotes. Default
   behavior is you have to first click the opening blockquote, then paste text, 
   then click close blockquote. There should be a way to do this in one action rather
   than three separate ones.
 * Is there already such a thing available? Anyone know?

 * I don’t know of any plugin in wordpress, but if you are doing this in the post’s
   text editor you just need to wrap
 * > …
 *  around the text.
 * Why not look at your word processor or OS to see if you can create a script to
   do it during the copy? On a Mac you could probably use automator to do it.
