# query_posts offset?

 * Is there a way to offset which posts query_posts will show? Put another way: 
   I want the latest 5 posts which are *older* than the latest 3 to show up, so 
   it should start showing posts from the 4th latest. Does this make sense? Latest
   5, offset by 3.
 * Anyone know how to do this?

 * I don’t know about using query_posts for this, but get_posts can use the offset
   parameter
