No.. you angle it VERY VERY slightly up. It depends on the shape of your arse and your position on the bike but for some people it can help rock their hips back and relieve some pressure from the front of their undercarriage.
I used to do this with Flite saddles but with SLRs and a bit lower bar position (I'm more flexible now) I have the saddle angled down at the front EVER so slightly.
I also have the saddle rotated slight to the right or left (I can never remember). This can make all the difference if you are chaffing an inner thigh.
Saddle height is important too - too high and your undercarriage constantly rocks back and forth over the saddle. Too low and your kneecaps explode out the side and kill innocent pedestrians. :)
