 * An older support ticket for this plugin, [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-insert-wp-insert-deprecated-function-split?replies=2](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-insert-wp-insert-deprecated-function-split?replies=2),
   said that the PHP split() function, which is deprecated in the language, was 
   removed in version 2.0.2 of this plugin.
 * However, it appears that that split() function is back, at least in version 2.0.9.
 * Here’s a count of how many times it appears in the plugin’s folder:
 *     ```
       wp-insert]$ grep -R split * | wc -l
       33
       ```
   
 * Here’s one of the 2.0.9 files browsed in Trac that has the split() function 6
   times:

 * Just wanted to let the plugin authors know, so they could correct the regression
   in the next verson.
