| Comment | Thank you for your kindness in explaining about "平らな道".
I can see that the management of this great site is full of hurdles and opposing forces which constantly bewilder those who endeavour to achieve its objectives. Indeed, I am glad that I am only a user and not the controller. I was doing a little more digging around and I came across the above RH entry, which seemed to be worthy of promotion. Then I looked at the following entries:- 平らなグリーン 【たいらなグリーン】 {golf} flat (level) green; WI1 平らなこと 【たいらなこと】 flatness; WI1 平らなひも 【たいらなひも】 tape; WI1 平らなほくろ 【たいらなほくろ】 smooth mole; WI1 平らなライ 【たいらなライ】 {golf} even lie; WI1 平らな顔 【？】 flat face; WI2 平らな魚 【？】 flatfish; thin-bodied fish; WI2 平らな胸 【？】 flat chest; WI2 平らな時空 【たいらなじくう】 flat space-time; WI1 平らな場所 【たいらなばしょ】 level place; WI1 平らな摺動面 【たいらなしゅうどうめん】 (n) flat ways; WI1 平らな組織 【たいらなそしき】 flat organization; WI1 平らな地形 【たいらなちけい】 flat landscape; WI1 平らな地面 【たいらなじめん】 level ground; WI1 平らな鉄板 【たいらなてっぱん】 flat sheet of iron; WI1 平らな板 【？】 smooth board; straight board; WI2 平らな表面 【たいらなひょうめん】 even surface; flattened surface; WI1 平らな部分 【たいらなぶぶん】 flat; WI1 平らな野原 【たいらなのはら】 flat field; WI1 I can see that I do not grasp the full nature of the problems so I am reluctant to make observations, save on the basis that by my expressing a comment I am primarily clearing my own mind of the matter. In short, so that I can move on to something else without feeling that I have been neglectful by not making a comment which may be useful. When I commented once before about "rouge elements" you said that you had given consideration to such matters in the past. Following your comments, I was wondering whether one could have another dumping area with a classification of something like "UO [for utterly obvious]" where the novice could search around, but which would not be a source dictionary for the other facilities like the "Translate Words" function. I have found that your site has provided many answers which were not found elsewhere. Sometimes, just that little trigger which leads one to a satisfactory conclusion. Again many thanks. |

I've seen this word mostly in software contexts. The 運用者 of a Wiki, project, website, etc. manager/operator seems to cover the meaning well enough, with a slight preference for operator, based on usage in ALC sentences: * botnetの運用者 herder〔【参考】botnet〕 * アクティブ運用者 active manager《金融》 * システム運用者 system provider * パッシブ運用者 passive manager《金融》 * レーダー運用者 radar operator〔【略】RADOP ; RO〕 * 送電系統運用者 transmission grid operator |
