I moved this to the Resolved Issues forum in order to split it into four threads in the active issues tracker:
The rules are clear on this point:

There were three ways I could have handled this: - Ask FawFul to post four (or more) separate threads himself--this felt like an undesired roadblock that would lead to frustration, especially if FawFul wasn't online again for a while
- Post the four separate threads myself--this would have been fast, but showing my name, instead of FawFul's, next to each thread would have given people the impression they were my ideas
- Use the JCF's thread-copy tools to make separate threads, authored by FawFul, and then cut them each down to their relevant portions--this is what I did, as it seemed fastest and clearest from every third party's perspective, but looking at it, I can imagine that it might look strange for FawFul to log in and see four new threads that he supposedly posted, without actually having clicked the New Thread button four separate times
Let me know if you think I made the right decision here.
