This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Calling him Presley also seems quite complimentary, since Elvis wasn't called 'the king' for nothing.
I'm certain I've seen references to SK other than these two, but I haven't any with me at the moment so I can check.

And I think there may be another Singer, but I can't recall the name.
