One of the most underutilized aspects of Perl Monks is the number of great discussions contained in the "archives." I enjoy randomly viewing the nodes from the past (try it), but it's rather hit and miss. The Best Nodes list is a good way to hit a few great nodes from the past, but I suspect that sitting just below the Best Nodes threshold is a treasure-trove of good stuff.

I propose a "view more" link off of the Best Nodes of all time list, that would show the next highest batch of nodes. These nodes could be shown without their rep, similar to the way you can view an individual's nodes ranked by rep. I haven't decided if there should be a new cutoff for this list (say a rep of 100), or if you could "view more" your way through all the nodes.

Since I'm now on the development team I'd be willing to attempt an implementation of this functionality if others would find it useful (and not objectionable.) Unfortunately, I'm still getting my feet wet in this new role, but it might be a good feature for me to jump in with.

So, do people think this is a good idea? Would it peel back too much of the dont-know-the-rep-before-you-vote curtain? Would people use it if it was available?
