Comment (by nacin):

 Ideally, our logic is smart. It counts the number of users for the blog,
 and if that is == 1, and if that 1 user is the user logged in, then we
 don't show a column. If a super admin is logged in, they should see the
 column. It doesn't make sense to show an author column in multisite just
 because there are > 1 user even when every user has only one blog (and
 each blog has only one user).

 An alternative thing we could do is just take this into CSS/JS. Just hide
 the column all together (as if the box is unchecked). Show the column when
 the new inline data of a quick edited post reflects a user ID of someone
 new. A bit more complicated, but sticks to the interface.
