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"
