How NOT to Chat in Second Life - Spam and Fury

I don't think you can go into Second Life public much these days and not run across a running commentary on the physical characteristics and effects of pregnancy on the body. The talking pregnant belly is incredibly common, and incredibly spammy. As you can see from excerpts of a chat below, it talks every four to five minutes in a fairly large burst of text, and with way too much information! When I'm shopping or sales, or looking around a new sim, the last thing I want to be thinking about is fetal genitalia!Or the state of the angles of esophagus of some random person I don't know!

[00:23] POOTERBILT Mommy's HUD 4.08 is in the third month (12-15 weeks) of development.
[00:29] POOTERBILT Mommy's HUD 4.08 knows that you can now notice your belly getting bigger and hopes you are not mad at me for it.
[00:35] POOTERBILT Mommy's HUD 4.08 notices I can see my sex parts. I wonder if you guys know what sex I am yet.
[00:41] POOTERBILT Mommy's HUD 4.08 wants you to get an ultrasound because you can see that I am looking more like a little baby now.
[00:49] POOTERBILT Mommy's HUD 4.08 can tell you are uncomfortable with all of this heartburn you feel from me growing and taking up so much room.

Another recent development is a proximity alarm which goes off every time someone runs into the person. In a crowded sim this can be a significant amount of contact, though I have to admit the one time I ran across it I ended up bumping into her on purpose because it made me giggle - like a giant toy. The amount of text it takes up, though, is no laughing matter; even accidentally, someone can seriously scroll the chat in a crowded venue. All it takes is a bunch of avatars and narrow hallways, like those limited time events that keep popping up all over, and a single, unnecessary sentence becomes some serious scroll.

A recent overheard conversation gave me a little insight into the thinking behid this scripty, spammy mess of an attachment, and I thought I'd share (as well as inviting some commiseration on the annoyance of Roleplaying Via Spam).
