Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

1st! Is this suit from Elvis' fat or slim era? Fools and their money are soon parted. I think all his 'left over' drugs sold for about the same price!

Since you obviously have nothing good to say about the most influential entertainer of all time, why don't you keep your ignorant comments to yourself?

    If people only realized the talent that went into that costume they might not be so suprised by the price. Not only because it was Elvis's suit but because of the many hours it took to embroider that costume and the talent of 2 designers, Bill Belew and Gene Doucette. Unknown to most people, Bill Belew designed only the costume and Gene Doucette actually designed the embroidery of the peacock itself. If interested, I could give you the many facts. As for a fool and his money, well if I had enough money to buy it, I would. Like it or not, it's definately a good investment!!!!

    Since you obviously have nothing good to say about the most influential entertainer of all time--that is still loved by millions--and did nothing but give pleasure to untold numbers of fans--why don't you not say anything or just stick your head a little farther up your ass, so no one has to listen to your ignorant comments?

    No need to be rude Bud! He's LONG dead and I'm sure cares little of what I think, or you for that matter!
    I paid a small fortune to see him in Vegas once, he was so stoned he could hardly warble his way through 3 so
    ngs. He gets no respect from me, dead or alive. He is still dead - right?
