and not say who it is. Why? Two different approaches: a) it should be
painfully obvious who's saying what, or b) the dialogue by itself is good
enough that it doesn't matter who's saying what, even to the point that it
detracts from it when you show who's saying what. Do you know what I mean?

I don't think I've ever seen a dialogue I thought would suffer from being
sure who was saying what.

Agreed.  I almost always HATE dialogues where there is no indication of
who is speaking past three or four lines.  It becomes needlessly
confusing.  SOME kind of clue should be given, just to maintain a sense
of cohesion.

I hate it when I try to tell an author that, and they disagree.  :P~  ;)

You KNOW who you are...  *grin*
