Turnstep has links to these kinds of places at the bottom of his home node. They also get brought up every now and again in posts and aren't required for enjoying the site.

The best nodes will be found by digging through old posts, following threads and links to see where they lead you, and so on. Yes, there could be links to all the 'system' pages like best nodes, but then you still wouldn't find things like Jcwren's stats page. There's simply no substitute for finding your own collection of 'best nodes'.

Update: Turnstep, you concentrate on finding the nodes (noisy sunset is a new one for me!) and I'll advertise you, okay? ;)
