hmmm. well, from the WYSIWYG editor, i write a post, split it up with a "more" tag from the menu there, it shows up that it is there, but when i publish and go view the post, i see the whole post...no split.
when i go back in to view the backend, i can still see that the "more" tag is there, so i guess it isn't really stripping it out, but it isn't showing up, either. i read some posts about this saying that the kses.php won't display HTML comments.
i'm gonna go back in and study this a little more...maybe i'm not doing something right, but it appears that i cannot split a post in my blog, and i'm not sure why, unless it is the kses.php entry concerning html comments.
