I followed your advice, making a slight change to the suggested template edit, and got exactly what I wanted.

This is the template edit I used:

				<div class="username_container">
					<h2>{vb:rawphrase thread}: <a href="{vb:link thread, {vb:raw post}, null, 'threadid', 'threadtitle'}" title="{vb:raw post.threadtitle}">{vb:raw post.threadtitle}</a></h2>
					<vb:if condition="$post['postuserid']">
						Thread started by <a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}, null, 'postuserid', 'postusername'}">{vb:raw post.postusername}</a><br/>
					<vb:else />
						{vb:rawphrase by_x_guest, {vb:raw post.postusername}}
					</vb:if>
					<vb:if condition="$post['userid']">
						Post {vb:rawphrase by_x, {vb:link member, {vb:raw post}, null, 'userid', 'username'}, {vb:raw post.username}}
					<vb:else />
						{vb:rawphrase by_x_guest, {vb:raw post.username}}
					</vb:if>
				</div>

The part in red is what I added...and I have attached an image of the result.

I thank both of you for your time and help.
