   Shez is old.  If you know anything about people, you can see that she is   
   old.  She isn't acting out, she is doing something that older people do all   
   the time, she is relating.  She will relate her experience, her life, she is   
   in Legacy Mode.  Legacy Mode is something that older people fall into.  Its   
   a natural human reaction to aging.  It isn't senility, or delusion.  It may   
   affect you differently because you aren't used to hearing Legacy Mode   
   concerning magical topics.  You may be more familiar with it concerning   
   health, awareness of danger, relation of past events and customs....you get   
   my drift.  Usually its a parent or grandparent that you will be exposed to   
   in these regards.  Usenet is different.  Its like a living room at a family   
   event with a lot of relatives that you may only know because someone you   
   know has pointed them out to you.  Sometimes its a party, sometimes its a   
   drag, but you won't get anywhere heckling the old people.  Just listen and   
   shut up, or move away to a younger crowd more to your liking.   
   This is the best advice that I can give you.  Consider it a pointing out.
