<human>: I was in middle school/high school I'm the mid-to-late 90's when the internet first started taking off. I was in 9th grade homeroom at the beginning of the day, and there was a computer with internet. I had almost no experience on the web at this point and thought I'd poke around. I looked up one of my favorite shows at the time, Babylon 5, and noticed that people were chatting about a recent episode that I had missed.  And then I saw it: Commander Jeffrey Sinclair was in fact the Minbari religious icon Valen. I spent the rest of that day in a daze.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: In 9th grade I found out that Sinclair was Valen while derping around on the web for the first time.
