What's the fastest way, without using Python, to select every other vertex of an edge ring with an even number of verts?

In edit mode with entire edge ring selected:
Select> Checker Deselect
This should deselect every other vertex.
You can then use the 'offset' value in the toolshelf if you want the other vertices in the edge ring selected.
No Offset:
Offset by 1:
Note: This works in edge and face mode too, deselecting alternate edges or faces to get a checkerboard selection.

6$\begingroup$ The offset option as well as the nth option (so you can select every 3rd vertex or 6th vertex...) is available in the operator options - either F6 or at the bottom of the toolbar panel T $\endgroup$ – sambler Aug 25 '13 at 6:59
