If some of those questions were posted by different users, a simple way to create such list would be using the favorites tab of this user. | |

You would of course lose the 8 upvotes, and you would have to manually copy the information from the comments. The "meta" effect should make up for lost votes. | |

I would suggest writing a letter to Community Management (see the 'contact us' when you scroll to the bottom of the page) and explain the situation, pointing them to this post. (If a CM sees this comment: the OP here is a trusted user.) | |
| Oct 1, 2017 at 0:45 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Based on what's written here, it seems that ownership of post is changed only in serious circumstances: Change ownership of a post and Move post to different user. Of course, there is also option to make a new post and ask moderators for merging. (That would preserve the comments, but not the votes. Still, before doing that it would be better to know what moderators think about this.) | |
