Can you be more specific?
1. Why does a page go into the supplementals?
2. Linking to a page in the supplementals can never harm the linking site?
3. How do you find the pages in the supplemental results?
What??? Manually??? WOW!!!

John,
Well, yes, manually - it doesn't really take much to look over a site and see whether a page is likely to have
PR ... what's the wow for?
If I really thought you wanted to know the answers to these questions, I would be so eager to take the time to do so ...
But no, I don't believe that linking to a page in the sups can harm a site. Do you? Why? How?
A page goes into the sups for many reasons, and many of them have to do with a problem with G's algo at the moment. Last April/May when Google 'attacked' links pages, the algo changes (or whatever you want to call it) put some good content pages in the sups ...
So, IMO, a discussion at the moment of why a page goes into the sups is not very useful .. I believe the next
PR update will show some reversals ...
If you mean how do I know a page is in the supplemental index, the answer is ... no, wait, you tell me, and I will tell you if that's how I do it.
And while you're at it, why don't you tell us how you determine whether it's a bad neighborhood and if you've left anything out I'll let you know.
Going to sleep now ...
