Synergistic Red Fuse ...

mapman ...

Please don't take this the wrong way --- no offense is intended. I just find personality types to be very interesting ...and understanding each personality type and the combination of personality types is crucial to my success in business.  After all, I am in the people business. 

As a person who has earned  his living as a 100% commissioned salesman for over 50 years, I've always found the personality type of the engineer, and others of that mindset, to be interesting to say the least. The analysis paralysis syndrome suffered by most of engineering mentality must be hell.

Not dissing engineers here at all. Those who measure 100 times before cutting once are the folks who keep our water running clean, the electro-power plants running ... and airplanes from crashing. 

Mapman ... Just stick the new fuse into the fuse holder and enjoy the damned thing already.  *lol*

I hope you enjoy it, mapman. 

Take care ...

"The analysis paralysis syndrome suffered by most of engineering mentality must be hell. "

Good engineers in industry learn to always be on the lookout for analysis paralysis and deal with it effectively as needed to accomplish the task at hand.

Just part of the job. Not hell at all for those who fit the mold.

My wife is the opposite. My engineering mentality for lack of a better term is likely hell for her from time to time but she knows it usually pays off when properly and reasonably applied. She knows for example in the end it pays our bills nicely :^)

"Just because" is not a reason most good engineers will easily default to though.

Heading home soon.    I'm planning to get to it later this evening.  Stay tuned.....

With baited breath? Nice Freudian slip.

Al,
Your explanation of the fuses to Mapman was simply clear,understandable  and educational. Your value to this site can't be overestimated.
Charles,  

Sales and engineering are two different things for sure.

"clear,understandable  and educational"

Hard to beat that combo.
