Aye, when you guys reply to spam, just know your hilarious prod at the spammer might get devoured with it.
Deleted some spammy shouts and also one reply from a regular, in case that regular is wondering where their shout went.
I think my favorite is perhaps Vernor Vinge's A Deepness in the Sky, but the books you list are all great, also. Rama was one of the first ones I read, so perhaps I hold it in high regard due to it being the first or one of the first I ever read. Then again, it almost doesn't qualify, being more of a BDO contact than alien first contact.
