Anoither minor gripe about LiveJournal ....

...is the "Quote" button.  Sure, it's a good idea.  But you can never tell quite what it's going to do.  If you select at least one complete paragraph of a post and click Quote, it's a fairly safe bet it'll blockquote it.  But if you select only part of a paragraph to quote, sometimes it'll blockquote, sometimes it'll put it in italics, sometimes it'll enclose it in double-quotes ... you click and take pot luck.

It'd be a lot more useful if it behaved consistently, and more useful still if you could define that behavior.

I have no idea if you're using Firefox, but wouldn't Greasemonkey work for making this function the way you want it to?

I'm not familiar with Greasemonkey. Enlighten me?
