I, for one, feel your pain in this matter. When I was a consultant in
The Bad Ol' Days, I had so many telephone numbers where I *could* be
that my .sig would be a run-on one as well. As a compromise, I had my
cell number and a hyperlink to a Web site page with the full monte.
That was before I joined NANOG, so I never tested the tolerance of the
people here with that solution.
When I was employed as a full-timer (including now) my "work" mail has
the same sort of crap. One option you might want to consider is to use
a personal e-mail account for places like NANOG with the single-line
disclaimer "Views expressed herein may not be my employer's view"
