I'm another who likes Ginghers - they're great scissors and who doesn't love a classy set of bright chrome scissors? But for actually using them for long periods of time, for me it's Kai all the way.
The links here - that's QB. They're apparently not making enough off of banner ads, so now we get ads forced into our posts with the hope we'll not realize it's an ad and click on it and earn them some change. Another reminder that if you're not paying for something, you're what's being sold.
