Subject: RE: Operator vs. User
Tasos asked about the difference between "Operator" and "User", specifically
in reference to the titles of telecomms manuals.
As always, "it depends...."
In general usage, the terms are interchangeable, but "user" is generally
considered more "friendly" (that is, less formal) than "operator."
