 * I’m just glad there is a script to be honest. I was terrified I was going to 
   have to do this the really old fashioned way.
 * Thanks so much for the link. I’ll give this a try.

 * If I have the current install with all my blog posts and I create a new install
   from scratch, can I pull all the content from the existing database into the 
   new one? I’m thinking the answer is yes, but I’d rather ask. I have no desire
   to be hunted down by the editors with pitchforks and flaming torches.
 * You guys have been SO great! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your help.

 * They all appear to be correct.
 * I checked my config file against a sample file from the codex, and it’s identical
   except for my “current site” and what not.

 * Just for fun, I removed all my plugins by renaming the file “plugins-old” and
   it had no effect on my privileges. Thought maybe I had a plugin issue.

 * Yes, I’m in 2.9.2. I’m starting to think I should update.
 * I don’t see anything about a site admin in the config file. The only admin designated
   is the MySQL settings.

 * I don’t have any of those (wp_capabilities, wp_4_capabilities, wp_options). It
   seems like if we can get in to everything except the super admin menu, we have
   to have some sort of permissions, but obviously not all. These are the “wp_” 
   tables I have:
 * > wp_blogs
   >  wp_blog_versions wp_registration_log wp_signups wp_site wp_sitecategories
   > wp_sitemeta wp_usermeta wp_users
 * Each individual blog has a set of tables, too. This is an example of one:
 * > wp_1_ak_twitter
   >  wp_1_commentmeta wp_1_comments wp_1_links wp_1_options wp_1_postmeta
   > wp_1_posts wp_1_publish2_error_log wp_1_recently_popular wp_1_sticky wp_1_terms
   > wp_1_term_relationships wp_1_term_taxonomy wp_1_wpo_campaign wp_1_wpo_campaign_category
   > wp_1_wpo_campaign_feed wp_1_wpo_campaign_post wp_1_wpo_campaign_word wp_1_wpo_log
   > wp_1_yarpp_keyword_cache wp_1_yarpp_related_cache
 * I am not a developer. I’m flying by the seat of my pants here. Any help you can
   offer is MUCH appreciated!

 * I’m only going to look at this thread now. 🙂
 * phpmyadmin has my admin account id listed as the site admin in the site meta 
   table. I’m not sure where else to look.
