If you feel strongly about it, you could write an input manager that switched the NSPasteboard implementation with something that didn't broadcast the changes -- although it'd only work for Cocoa applications, which it sounds like you're not using many of ;)
Oh, I'm using plenty of Cocoa apps. Software is easier to replace than habits though.
Thanks for the tip on NSPasteboard. That at least gives me another search term to use to see if somebody's already made this.
Oh goodness, sounds like OpenDoc all over again! Hopefully this time people will use it.
