Comment:

 Try this patch out.  It adds a new (private) query var: 'offset'

 Offset moves the starting post by the specified number of posts.

 e.g., 'offset=2' would start with third post (2 posts offset from the
 first post).  This is how it works in Movable Type.

 You can use this to specify a range of posts that was not previously
 possible.

 e.g. 'offset=2&posts_per_page=10'

 Previously, you would have had to query the first 12 posts and used PHP to
 ignore the first two.  This is much cleaner, more efficient, and easy for
 people to understand.
