I asked a question in the Oracle 10g forum and received an answer that referred to the Oracle documentation as "Propaganda".
Merriam-Webster said:
the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person
I usually think of propaganda as negative and was surprised that it can also be used to help. Can you think of other words that are typically thought of in one vein but may be the other?

spudz, I'm more than willing to suit up for for team "Guys" so long as our intended target remains your girlfriend.

I've long since lost the battle with my wife, as I was unable to give up sleep.

[thumbsup2] Wow, I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
I think I've forgotten this before.


 
sounds good!
