This should be of special interest to Lamb, who often has to tell people to adjust their sarcasm setting before reading his posts... http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20110416/sc_livescience/inabilitytodetectsarcasmmayheralddementia "We have to find these people early," she said.

being a newbie i am not sure who this "lamb" is, but i am pretty certain the name "lamb" might in itself be sarcastic as i think he may be no lamb to the slaughter! but i do not want to take the michael out of anyone...

Hello, Barbara. Don't these people have anything better to do with their qualifications? Well, they could always put them where the sun don't shine. Is that sarcasm? Did you recognise it? Oh, good! You don't have dementia - or do you?

for me its a brand name for every people..then if you have it then minimized on how you act about it..its never to late for this person to change..i also got this friend of mine that used to be that way and now that i realized that his alter ego wins over him..then i should not be tolerating this such kind of behavior..but as we all know we have our intellect and will its up for us to decide when is the best time to used this kind of persona within us..
