I knew someone would pick me up on that. Strictly speaking 'and' is a conjunction and does not belong at the beginning of a sentence. But (another conjunction), as I recall from school, exceptions are allowed, especially if the 'and' or 'but' is followed by a comma as mine are. This changes the emphasis. I did consider using 'also' but I wanted that emphasis. In the case of 'but', 'however' (or even 'although') would have been just as good.
I'm using Opera as my browser due to its very low resource requirements so I don't have the luxury of Google Toolbar.
With apologies for being very off topic! (Oh, no! A sentence started with a preposition. Will it never end?)
