How to make ditto exclude the latest post in a call.

I am trying to use ditto to exclude the latest post in a call to list a section of content. I have tried to below code but I am doing something wrong.

&filter=`id,[*id*],2`

The complete call is:
[!Ditto? &parents=`52` &filter=`id,[*id*],2` &tpl=`newsarticlestemplate_home` &display=`2` !]

I want it to start listing the articles in this section and exclude the very latest article. I should be easy .. but its not.

All the same, it is rather easy. The following is a quote from Ditto support site:

tplLast
Purpose: User defined chunk to format the last document

You can catch last document with a specific chunk, then format it in a different way or hide.

&start=`1` will skip the first item.

Last one should be skipped, not first.

By default Ditto has the latest item first.

Thank you all. The &start = ’1’ works just fine. I was manually filtering the new posts every time a new article was uploaded but this is the ultimate.
