Technically, it's not grammatically incorrect to start a sentence with "and" or "but" or anything else similar. You should try to start with another word, but only the most strict and/or anal teacher would ever take off for it.

The only time you really need to worry about spelling and grammar in a forum is when you're flaming someone. If you're flaming someone, you better make sure that it looks like something Shakespeare would write. "Ye post is stale and trite. Truly, your stupidity is at its height."
