I may be confused as to what you are asking, but maybe you are looking at the Notes Section on the Newest Nodes Page. That is just the "most realtime" unsorted responses that come in to the site. They are the various answers to posts in the Questions section.

Normally you don't look at them. I guess they are there, so you can quickly scan for responses to certain questions, which may interest you, but you were not the original poster. For instance if "Bob" asks a question, and you respond, Bob get a notification message that you responded when he uses the site. Now if Bill responded to your response, you would get a notification, but not Bob. But if Bob glances thru the Notes, he may see his topic and realize someone else has inputed information.

Basically, you want to read the "Questions" section, for an orderly view.
