What are followup? Good question! A followup is where the user who posted the original question posts a response to the answers they have received. We do this even for anon questions because we have the near-magical ability to verify that the feedback is from the original question asker (check for the yellow verified message)... It allows you to track what happens after people ask their question. Maybe they liked the advice, maybe they hated it, or maybe they just wanted to post an update.
