[MR] A fine set of definitions

[Alfredus Scurra]

4) The Burnt-Out Occasional Participant: This good gentle is a rare 
sight,

coming to events only for special occasions. S/he used to be a 
Dedicated

Participant, but through politics or burn-out, has lost most of their

enthusiasm. Most often, s/he had attained high office and accrued 
many

awards proceeding the burn-out. We are diminished by their 
absence.

This pretty much describes my lady wife and myself,

except for the last two sentences.  To describe this 
situation,

I usually use a phrase I learned in software engineering:

 

        OBE -- Overcome By 
Events

 

-- Alfredus Scurra
