 * When I go to quick edit a post by RW, the drop-down box to switch authors is 
   not available. However, my posts (there are just 2 users of this site) DO show
   the author drop-down box and both author-users are listed. It doesn’t matter 
   which administrator is logged in, posts by RW do not have the drop-down box in
   Quick Edit. I need to switch authors – Help! Thanks.

 * Is RW an admin username? If so, delete that user (as long as another proper admin
   user does this) and reassign.
