As a defensive measure (among others) I crafted a .sig that contained all of the telephone numbers and email addresses by which I could be reached (included a pager number) 7 x 24 x 52 with (guaranteed) no more than 20 minute delay.
It ran to 7 lines, including the dash dash space EOL protocol sentinel.
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"
