This post was very confusing to me. What is the Shadow Question? It was never explained in the post, and it's somewhat hard to understand without knowing. Like wware, I kept thinking "Who knows what evil lurks within the hearts of men?"
The Shadow Question is "What do you want?"
Could this be added to the article? It would make it much clearer.
But then future readers would have no opportunity to win geek points.
A lot more readers will care about clarity than will care about geek points.
Fine, I'll put in a footnote :(
They still would, if you took out the explanation of where the question came from (which I would never have known). I'd suggest putting the question itself in the main body of the article, but taking out the source of the question; that way, people could still have the chance to win points.
And the reason that it is The Shadow Question is because it is a reference to Babylon 5.
