My business cards typically have my name, and the letters "bofh" after

it[1].  Well, that got stopped at the last place, but I'm going to put

it in again at the new place :)  Depending on certification, and what

you do, sometimes having those letters does help.  Then again, I go

around telling everyone I got my CISSP by reading the CISSP for

Dummies[2] book... *blink* :)
I've never put my title or other such crap in my .sig.  I'm starting

to see the benefits of my phone number in my .sig at work, still

contemplating that.  I've always figured, if someone thinks it's

important enough to find out who am I/what I do, then they can go look

it up in the corporate directory.

[1]  At one prior place, I sneaked "LAN Lord" on to the cards too.

[2]  Much *MUCH* better than those "official" cissp books.  Took us a

month just to read 10 pages.  I read the dummies book in one night,

and passed it the next day.  Having always been interested in

security, and reading about it did help too :)
