The interrogative mood is underrepresented in online writing.

Thoughtful questions help the reader discover their own insights. Isn't that the value of writing anyway — what it inspires in you, not what it says to you? The interrogative mood admits uncertainty and invites the reader's thoughts to interrupt the author's indicatives and imperatives.

Ask questions. Be provocative, not prescriptive.
