G'day LanX,

I concur with what you're reporting and would also like to see the selection including more recent nodes.

Perhaps one of the simplest solutions would be to have additional lists that excluded older timeframes; for example, "A selection of 50 of the top 2000 nodes from the last 3, 6, 9 and 12 years". [Note: I chose 3, 6, 9 and 12 arbitrarily]

Another possibility might be to have a means to make a custom selection: "A selection of W of the top X nodes from years in the range Y to Z". I appreciate that the processing required to provide this feature may make it in impractical.

There might also be a more acceptable middle-ground between those two suggestions, e.g. "A selection of 50 of the top 2000 nodes from years in the range Y to Z" with specific custom selections being cached and retained for 24 hours.

Anyway, those are just ideas for monks to mull over. Beyond wishing to see a wider selection of "Selected Best Nodes", I'm not too fussed how that might be implemented.
