So I could simply just turn it off if I don't want to use it,        Ps> useful for netmails too.               From what I understand, the Fidonet echos that require real names only require       that on the message header. If a poster wants to add a sig that incorporates       their alias, then there's no harm in that. So, basically, one sig should be       good for both kinds of areas, even if the sig uses the alias, and not the real       name.               "No matter where you go, there you are!" - B.
