I would be willing to drop those requirements in my echos, but (1) people
tend to think that allowing aliases means they can act stupider, troll,
etc., in the political echos, and (2) at least one of the FIDO sysops has
adopted a sock-puppet and posts using both his real name and the fake one
and likes to pretend that we all don't know it is him.

If I know who it is, and they are only posting under one name, I don't care
as long as it is a real-sounding name (and not a name they have adopted
only for use in my echos... see problem #1).
