Gen: Stock Splits

I first heard of traders buying just before a split and selling just after around 1992.
After a time, it seemed like everyone was doing it. The concept of buying after a split 
would worry me, as I'm not convinced there is not a fairly large number of traders that 
still do it the earlier way.
