These commands send messages through communication channels to other players.
SHOUT sends a message to all awake players in the world.  To curb excessive
shouting, SHOUT imposes a three-second delay on the shouter.
MUSIC, AUCTION, GOSSIP, NEWBIE, and QUESTION and ANSWER also send messages
to all interested players.  '.' is a synonym for GOSSIP.  The QUESTION and
ANSWER commands both use the same 'question' channel
FLAME is similar to auction, gossip, etc, but is intended for moaning about
life, players, etc.  ZZZ may only be used when sleeping.
YELL sends a message to all awake players within your area.
RACE sends a message to members of your own race.  CLAN sends a message to
those in your clan.

You can use the CHANNELS command to hear, or not hear, any of these channels.
