A probably quite common use is to have some nodes shown with teasers and some more as list. (Using panels for example.) This problem was solved in the forum by adding $offset = 5; to "Argument Handling Code" box. Maybe this could be implemented as an option field (like "Skip the first/last x items").

Another vote for that. I was searching the forums for this and also posted (http://drupal.org/node/138484) forum topic, than I have found this. Please, please, help.

Title: Skip first x entries in list » Offset View results by (n)

This is a common use scenario that should be simple for users to set up. This problem remains unsolved, despite changing the arguments handling code as suggested above.

I was used to using offsets regularly to create custom page layouts in Movable Type. Now, drupal is better in almost every respect, except that it doesn't have this very basic functionality (at least, not for n00bs). Would be great to have a more elegant implementation of this.

All the interest in this feature, yet no one has submitted a patch. :/

I'm the only Views developer, people. I don't have time to do everything, anymore.
