Be careful copying blocks.  Each time you do so will add a block to the "Block List" and you will end up with multple versions of the block.  It is a problem in that if the block needs to be edited, there will be multiple versions to edit and it will result in a larger file. (*slower loading / saving, redrawing, ...)  If it only a couple of blocks it isn't a big deal...

If you require multple instances of the same block it is better to insert the block from the "Block List" each time.  Each instance remains linked to the "block insert" (parent block?  origin block?).

I thnk block behaviour is governed by quantum mechanics
