Dear Jon,
If we corrected each other's mistakes in English, we'd be here all
day.
In fact, ironically enough, your sentence correcting Antonio's
English is itself incorrect:
1) One should not normally begin a sentence with But, since but
is a word used to co-ordinate two parts of a sentence.
Dear Stewart,

I actually disagree, as self-education is not synonymous with
narrow-mindedness, and often is quite the opposite, being the mother of
erudition.
Rainer aus dem Klo is rather erudite (if narrowly), while his longstanding
propensity to insult others shows him to be simply a sociopath.

The Chicago Manual of Style 14th ed. says:
5.37 An adverbial phrase at the beginning of a sentence is frequently

AND
5.38 The comma is usually omitted after short introductory adverbial phrases
