Agreed. You can hide them BUT, in my case, I work on the top level assemblies of other peoples parts and assemblies. when there are 1000's of parts with 100's or 1000's of tags, you can end up waiting 20 minutes on a large drawing to get them selected and hidden. Then, if anything changes on sub-level components, they start re-appearing on my drawing!!!!
We have convinced the other groups to set them to layers, which does help a lot, since you can turn off those layers in your drawing and that takes care of most of them, except old parts with no layers and the new style tag that won't layer off, and the ones on obscure layers and so on and so forth.
It's just silly (used loosely) that they automagically show up on drawings when nothing else shows up without you asking for them to show up.
