Default Basic fuse question

Ok, let me quote the amazon page for you.

QUALITY USA brand fuses!! Set of 5 pieces, T3.15AH250V, T3.15A 250V,
T3.15 H250V, T3.15A 250V, T3.15H250V cartridge CERAMIC fuses 5X20mm
(3/16" X 3/4"), 3.15A 250V, SLOW-blow (Time Delay)


Yeah, I saw that. It also says "You will receive 5 fuses and they can
be either of these marking: T3.15AH250V, T3.15A 250V, T3.15 H250V,
T3.15A 250V, T3.15H250V." Not being a fuse expert, I don't know that
these are all in fact interchangeable, and I thought perhaps it might
be better to clarify the rating numbers with someone who's NOT trying
to 'sell me something'.


And again with focus on the rating:
3.15A 250V

And again with just the amperage
3.15A
The A is for Amps.
That helpful enough for you?


That's what I was looking for. That wasn't so hard, now was it? I
guess I'll leave it to you and your shrink to determine why you didn't
simply give that info to begin with, and instead felt the need to
make a total stranger feel stupid for asking a legitimate question in
an appropriate forum. My guess would be low self esteem, but check
Amazon, I bet they have a self-help book on it.


Is this the way YOU say thank you. Remind me no to respond to your posts.


Chill.
My bad, I forced the issue.
Blame me for my inciteful response.
