Ralph,
I'm going to conclude mine is long enough to get you thinking but not long enough to really get you cranky. The left column is there for the obvious reasons, the boat name is there so everyone can tumble indirectly I'm a C270 owner (not a C27 owner), but the last three reflect my mostly unspoken awareness initiative. They are a reminders that 1) VHF not you cell phone is the primary tool for emergency communication on your boat. 2) Everyone sailing outside of small lakes should have by now upgraded to a VHF radio with Digital Selective Calling. 3) The DSC VHF radio should be registered (MMSI) and directly interfaced to a GPS. If anyone disagrees - please change the subject line and start that thread, I'd be glad to play. But my reason for chipping in here is that Outlook (the program I use for mail) can create and store several mail signatures. Using Outlook if I right click over my signature block I can instantly select a tailored email signature (see below). I wouldn't be at all surprised if other program had similar features. If it's appropriate for your profession to include a long signature make it your default so it's always included until you change it. Then you just have to make and effort to grab the correct signature for other activities.
