- To find them it's not too difficult, they are everywhere, hidden also in the
- pages of the best mags. Look out for them, then, and enjoy all those So-What
- articles, because at the end you never know if the author was serious or if he
- was just pulling your legs.

- European Top 20 by Equinox issue 7
- OWN LANGUAGE by Jackpot of Equinox (the main-ed)
- Jackpot introduces a brand new Big Question for the scene. Are acceptable
- articles or demos in own languages different from english? In almost 1300 bytes
- he examines the various cases and comes to the conclusion that it depends.
- The article finishes with: "Well, hope you enjoyed...".
- An ironic final pearl, for a typical five minutes - 1500 bytes - filling space
- article.

- Eternal by Miracle issue 2
- BORING HANDLES by Prime/Circle (Razor1911)
- "I decided to write this article because of all the boring handles in the
- scene". This is the promising beginning of a deep article about how some
- handles lack of fantasy. The author seems to lead a crusade especially to three
- letters shortenings which are not easy to remember. At the end of the long
- article (about 1700 bytes) he even gives some good suggestions in your hard
- quest for a new handle.

- GREETINGSLIST=ASSKISSING? by Jean/Absolute!

- are also Jean's doubts and he has managed to write finally the article that no
- one had dared to write.

- of a new group. 1- To seem more important. 2- To asskiss famous groups.
- Had you ever imagined that?

- Upstream by Balance issue 7
- MELON, LEMON. A PLAGUE! by Cristine de La Queen/Disaster
- All our hopes to see from Cristine De La Queen/Disaster articles more
- interesting that the males' standard ones are collapsed reading, on Upstream 7,
- Melon, Lemon. A plague!. Here you can discover how the authoress find immoral
- the fashion of cloning Melon Dezign's name. She suggests that in the real world
- Melon would have sued Lemon. for their name.
- Very interesting (and even false).

- The Jungle by Damian issue 5
- OBJECTIVITY is NONE! by Twingo/Fantasy
- The author introduces a new very interesting Big Question for the scene's
- debates. Is it fair the voting system based on percentages in the reviews of
- scene productions? The author explains wittily that the reviewer can't make a
- real difference among an 88%, or 87%, 89% and so on. After all he doesn't
- "squeeze every product through many individual tests like professional game
- magazines"! (As if they did...).
- He introduces also keen concerns about the the meaning of such percentages and
- the particular case of a 100% mark. Stuff for Scenology.

- The Jungle by Damian issue 5
- LAXITY - THE SHAME ON YOU! by Vodka/TSB
- The author thinks to have found an hot scoop and he reveals it to everybody.
- He has listened in a LP by Ace of Base some samples that he had also heard in
- Laxity's music for Desert Dream.
- What a terrific news!
- Has Laxity ripper Ace of Base's samples? Has Ace of Base (who could have an
- Amiga) ripped Laxity's samples? Have both of them ripped the samples to
- somebody else?
- These are the disquieting interrogations that the author proposes and which
- remain unsolved. Is it possible for the scene to bear that Laxity has ripped
- samples from an album??? After all, we know that, some good samples are
- OBVIOUSLY enough to make a good module.

- Visual Intensity by Dual Format issue 2
- NO TRAINERS! by Trashead of Samba/Suspect
- In the last issue of Scenarium an article pro-trainers had the pleasure of being
- host in the SO-WHAT section. Now that article, published on the same mag, finds
- a reply where the author arguments wittily why he doesn't want trainers in
- games. Without entering in particular we just notice that the topic is hot
- because...
-
-
- Visual Intensity by Dual Format issue 2
- REPLY TO NO TRAINERS! by The Cookie Monster of Dual Format (Main ed)
- The main editor of this mag and writer of the original pro-trainers article
- replies to the Trashead's reply. A real wonderful SO-WHAT? debate which The
- Cookie Monster faces with seriousness and attention. He is glad of the replies
- of his interlocutor and he accepts some of his points, showing rare sense of
- democracy and tolerance. He finishes the article with: "Thanks to Trashead for
- a great reply article and I only hope more and more people will join the debate
- and possibly Trashead could give another article of his views".
- In other words The Cookie Monster wants to get deeper into the delicate matter
- about trainers. A SO WHAT? paradise.

- RAW by Spaceballs issue 6
- WHY JOKEGROUPS? by Dalmak of Stellar
- The author has found a brand new Big Question for the scene and therefore he
- writes his good article about it. What's the point of jokegroups? Why does a
- scener release a fun intro under the label of his jokegroup and not of his
- official group?
- The writer meditates deeply about the matter and comes to the conclusion that he
- would never do, or write or say anything with any other name than his own.
- Really interesting. A joke?

- RAW by Spaceballs issue 6
- FUCK THE ANTI NAZI DEMOS - A "SO WHAT?" ESSAY by Rokdazone of Infect
- This is the first article that claims to be a SO-What? piece without the
- previous permission and official acknowledgment of The SO-What? Council and
- this has raised more than one debate at its internal.
- Can a writer pretend to declare his own article a So-What? one?
- How will the Council act in similar cases?
- Is this really a So-What? article?
- This last question has provoked savage discussions still unsolved.
- Yes, under some points of views this IS a SO-What article, as it raises glimpses
- of the crucial question at the end of the reading.
- Still it hasn't a proper SO-What? logic, it hasn't SO-What? statements and
- argumentations. It other words it's not a full accomplished SO-What? article.
- Sorry Rokdazone (have we already met somewhere?), your article wasn't enough
- pointless, try again.
