rather have people follow-up to their own nodes rather than make a major update to an existing node

Well, a problem with that is we don't see the text of the node which is being replied to (I think I made a suggested that we see them some time back). So, as it is now, if someone makes a new node to expand upon another node, you have to click on the New Node, then click on the node it is referencing. Too many clicks simply to get context, IMO.

hen follow-up to the motivating node and update your old node to include a link to your new node.

Well, if I already cleared that node from my queue, I don't know it was updated, which was my original point :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
