Chapter 3 and counting...

I eschew dialogue tags whenever possible. I feel that more often then not, they're unnecessary.

Apparently not everyone feels that way.

I, too, like the idea of being able to tell who is talking after reading only a chapter.

Copy editors rarely feel this way. Unless you're Zelazny, and then it's a contest -- are you sure who is talking by the end of things?

I agree that it's worth striving for.
