   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.
