You don't need that much information in every posting you make.
The only need for a .signature (in my humble opinion) is to
identify yourself in case somebody saves the article w/o
the headers and a month later wants to reply or something.

Your real name, organization and return address are usually
specified in the header.  What other information does anyone
need?  Your title?  That's not usually not necessary; if it
ever is, you can put it in the article body.

Different people will have different requirements, but all
should fit within four lines quite easily.  No need to change it.

..Bob
