A favorite solution that I have is to create "say" and "emote"
verbs upon the player.... non-functional ones that notify no-one
except the player.  Often they won't catch on for a long time...

Of course, it prevents them from sending mail, so you have to turn it
off eventually, but it certainly is much more amusing than booting or
toading.
