I'd disinfect that keyboard if I were you.

Well, you do have a point, and I'm not against dialogue tags, either. I wouldn't have hammered on the proper formatting and punctuation of them if I didn't think they had their place. I just believe that the necessity of them is overrated. 

If your characters are having an ongoing discussion, there is definitely a place for a strategically placed dialogue tag. But like everything else in writing, you need to think about it. Like I said, I'm not against them. But think about where you need them, and where they become just a crutch to the writer.  

I'm a big fan of using moderation, I guess. ;-) Lots and lots of moderation.
