I think your sig here is okay, but do you really want to sign off with an apology for disruption? ;)

I think the main problem is not so much you, just the general attitude
towards Sig's. It's fair (I think) to get upset when reading a list and
having HUGE sigs put on every thing.

Companies should really try to shorten them, and also have it so that if
posting to a world readable list, then at worst have a sig that just
says this person does not represent the company in their opinion. As
apposed to every thing else.

I am currently resisting implementing signatures at my company until
they come up with one that is not 500 lines long.
