Umm, that Arnold was a mailman, sounds somewhat familiar, so I might have heard that. No offense, but it doesn't impress me. Are you a fan of Arnold or did he have a big influence on you?
Just by circumstance, I didn't read much of Arnold's books and work until after I had read some other things and by that time, all those books had the same basic information, which was more about the games from the 80's. People like Wong and Schlesinger who I read early on, long before I got around to Arnold had a much bigger influence on me. But again, that just happens to be the order that I read and learned. If I had come across Arnold earlier, he probably would have had a bigger influence because he had some unique and outside the box ideas like opposition
the radar. He did the opposite, as did Kenny Uston.
