Interesting. My dictionary had the following for the first definition:

'Grandiose':Characterized by greatness of scope or intent; grand...
...Which was definitely what I had in mind. Would anyone deny that the
Sysop scenario is great in scope?

Your definition was also listed, however, and I can see how a different word
choice might be better. I'll try to come up with something.

The bad email address was accidently caused during one of my earlier html
translations, and has now been corrected. Thanks.
