I think you're probably 'the only freak that would like that feature'. Here's a related feature that I think would be great (but then again I probably the only freak...):

Like you, I mainly use the Newest Nodes page as my entry point. But I find myself clicking through to a node (Mozilla middle click to open in a new window) and then immediately clicking on the link to view the whole thread - so I can see the comment in context.

I think it would be great if each of the 'New Notes' included a link to the full thread. It would be even cooler if the link passed both the thread ID and the node ID so that the node could be highlighted in the thread.
