I know this was meant in jest. And I generally don't mind grammar nazis
if they get it right. The world needs more geeks that can write
coherently in human readable languages. But the last time that the rule
above applied *was* in grammar school. That rule exists because simple
minds need simple rules. The sentence in question was, in this respect,
grammatically correct.

I think you are old enough now that we can let you in on the secret of
starting sentences with conjuntions.

And thus ends the grammar lesson for the day, kids! ;-)
