Why did the people at Blogger have to wreck the "Blog This" tool?

As recent posts on this blog show, the "Blog This" tool has been corrupted and produces corrupt blog posts as a result of "improvements" made by the people at Blogger. It was a good tool and worked well for 15 years or more, but as can be seen from recent posts on this blog, it has not been "improved" by the changes, and it is now of very little use. 

When will people learn the importance of the principle" if it ain't broke, don't fix it? 

I really wish the people at Blogger would bring back the old one, which was useful in many ways, none of which work any more. For example:

  1. It used to be possible to copy extracts from several other blog posts or other web sites and copy those quotes into a single blog post. Now (quite apart from the redundant %20 it inserts everywhere) it creates a new draft blog post for every single one of those quotes, posts which one may never want to use.

  2. It used to be possible to cite blog post in a comment on another blog. It now doesn't do this properly, because it creates yet another redundant blog post.

They have entirely removed all functionslity from this tool;, making "Blog This" a non-function, a totally functionless  function. 

Bring back the "Blog this" that was useful and worked.
