Use of 'so' to start a sentence is common in spoken English, and in informal written communication. The language is changing, as evidenced by the disappearance of the subjunctive. I don't think that is even being taught any more. I was told that saying or writing "If I were you" is a sure sign of age.
In the midst all the bad grammar and spelling I see here, beginning a sentence with 'so' is hardly even on the radar screen. But maybe I'm defending it because I do that myself.
Anyway, posters, you don't need to have perfect grammar to ask questions.
