Matt at Overtaken By Events offers a thought-provoking post on bloggers sucking up.
He recommends restraint, as not to appear so obvious about it.
I say what the heck, what's the long-term harm in a little ebullient obsequiousness? Later on you can always hang out on street corners blowing winos until you get your self-respect back.

I have a co-worker who says he blew one of the Shah of Iran's sons- the spare, not the heir.
The 'lanche- People who send in e-mail to discuss some guy's razor...no, I'm not up to meeting their blog needs.
