[KS] North Korean temple photos

[Werner Sasse]

Yes, and it is not only a bad habit to copy something into your blog 
without mentioning where you copied it from, it is also a nuisance. It 
makes one have to go through all the same stupid stuff over and over
again when you put "Changan-sa" into google or whatever search thing.

Is there not a way to tell your computer to automatically disregard.
a text you have already deemed useless before?

Serious question for one like me who is otherwise happy to live way
out in the woods pretty far away from a decent library..

Best
Werner
