[support] How do you convert one node type into another?

[blogdiva at culturekitchen.com]

BTW,

1. I am running 4.7
2. There is no way I will be moving to 5 or 6 anytime soon (FYI for  
those who would dare to consider that a solution :)
3. I've never understood Drupal's logic of basing the queue on node  
types as opposed to user roles.
