Good question. Saddi could probably answer this.
Well, being overwhelmed is over the top but underwhelmed is under the degree, but whelmed is the point of shock and complete suprise.
Well, since Saddi is elsewhere, I am guessing that "whelmed" is just the neutral point at which our reaction can start. Here we are at normal, then we are either blasted away by events, or completely bored by them. How 'bout that. Did we just make up a new word?
