Caveats

Messages sent on channel zero^[1] and DEBUG_CHANNEL are throttled to a rate of <200/10sec, per region, per owner/user.
- Once the rate is exceeded, all following messages on channel zero or DEBUG_CHANNEL will be dropped until the send rate is again below 200/10sec for the previous 10 sec. Dropped messages, despite being dropped still count against the limit.
Text can only be a maximum of 1024 bytes.
Whispers can only be heard within 10 meters of the speaking prim.
A prim can not hear itself, to prevent problems with recursion.

<lsl>default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llWhisper(0,"This is an incredibly useless program." );
   }

}</lsl>

For communicating with the user or owner it is much better to use llDialog, llOwnerSay or llInstantMessage as they won't spam other users.

^ Channel zero is also known as: PUBLIC_CHANNEL, open chat, local chat and public chat
