How Many Letters After Your Name Is Too Many?

Full disclosure:  I am a CPA and CGMA, and am considering the CITP.

That being said, how many letters are too many?  How many of your certifications are you putting on your communications?  Does your firm have a policy on this?  

I just got an email from a person, and this was his signature (name changed obv.):

John Smith,CPA,CITP,CFF,CISSP,CGA,CGMA,QSA,PA-QSA, PCIP
President & CEO
Smith & Associates, LLC
Certified Public Accountants & IT Consultants
PCAOB, AICPA, PCIDSS & ISC2 Registered
5 Smith St., Smith, NJ 77777
 

This just seems obnoxious and confusing to me.  I am debating whether I should take the CGMA out of my signature based upon the rage this guy's signature gives me.

Discuss?

Thank you.
