cmdlet write to console with out writing to pipeline

Is there a way that I can have a class that extends cmdlet write to the powershell console with out writing it to the pipeline?

I'm writing a cmdlet which will write a lot of objects to the pipeline (which people will then pipe into another cmdlet like Export-CSV). The problem is if I start writing info to the console that will get picked up as well.

e.g object 1 object 2 "I am a info message that has been logged to powershell via this.WriteObjct object 3

if I try and pipe the cmdlet into another cmdlet I'll get object 1,2, the info message and 3. I need it so it just pipes object 1,2 and 3.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You should use WriteDebug method or WriteVerbose. You could read more on MSDN in: Adding User Messages to Your Cmdlet
