I don't think so.  Brown-nosing almost always has a definite goal in mind,
and very few people on the net are in a position to do other posters any
good or harm outside of flamery or praise itself.

For instance, if I post a thumbs-up for Bill Wells' work in n.n.q., how
can he help me in return? -- He lives in Florida, I in Texas, and he doesn't
work for the firm I work for.  For that matter, even my coworkers who post
aren't in a supervisory position over me, so patting them on the back 
wouldn't help a bit at review time.  And my only outside business
activity is insurance, and I doubt if someone is going to buy insurance
from me just because I post an attaperson (especially if the recipient
lives in another State).
