You're right, my bad.  But it will still return the records with IDs 2, 6,
8, 10, etc., which is not every other record.  (That would be 2, 5, 7, 9,
etc.)

I'm not trying to suggest that solving this problem by getting every record
and letting PHP select every other one is more efficient; I'm merely
suggesting that it's more correct.  :)
