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.
