If one has to explain the sarcasm, it’s a sarcasm fail. However, there are instances of folks just not getting it. It doesn’t mean the sarcaster did a poor job, rather that the sarcastee was not in the right mood to perceive the sarcasm.

Posting history is usually a good indicator of the degree of sarcasm.

It was an instance of me not reading further into the post where it became clear it was sarcasm. But it turned out Ok as the information imparted about the Snopes couple was likely news to those lurking.
