it works but it spams me with the messsage 40 times anyway to fix it?

You need the message sent to usr to be outside the for loop, not inside; otherwise it's called for ever M checked, and that's not what you want. You also should replace oview() with M, as I believe that's closer to what you want. The loop still won't work as you've written it, though, because the non-usr message is only sent if M can't hear you.
