X Man,

<<Only thing I wonder is if it is, hope, hype, or something solid. I just hope, the hype is solid. :-)>>>

Very clever witticism. I think your personal best to date. Kudos !! I fear that I have become witless. Maybe it is part of the aging process? Perhaps as a result of spending too much time gazing into a rectangular piece of glass with 16 million color hues flashing on it and less time spent in actual "real-time" verbal fencing. I wish I had the rapier-like wit of my youth....your youth. My latest attempts at innocuous wit bring with it an unintended acridness that is unintended and often cruel. Bordering more on lambaste than lambency.

How does one go about remedying such a malady? Alas there are no "wit" doctors to call upon. There are no transplants or implants that I am aware of. St. John's Wort has proven ineffective in my personal case and may indeed be contributory in dullifying and hastening the loss there-of. Have I no other regimen to attempt? Must I also silently accept and add this to the ever expanding repository where other losses and diminishments are housed??

Perhaps I should be looking likewise for sense, to mellow the last vestigial lingering remnant of wit I may possess. Of course!! As per your sentence the structural order is paramount. Placement without order is ineffectual gibberish. Scantily discernible from the ranter of a madman. I now believe my underlying wit is intact...yet covered like so many coats of paint on a pristine cherry door. Waiting to be uncovered and revitalized to its former physique. It will need proper attention. This I promise to provide in abundance.

Young citizen Cane....you may be solely responsible for my wit salvation. For this I am eternally in your debt.

Frank
