They must consider his recommendation! ;-)

perhaps wise advice?

At this time I conceive that others may wish to consider your recommendation.

I MUST disagree with

I MUST disagree with you...

Any process implementation MUST include an R&R clear definition, regardless of your situation. It will simply not work without that.

Just to have some fun by quoting you back using "must" :-))))))

counter arguement

But if I tried to eliminate "but" just about every paragraph I write would fall in half. But I guess you are right. However on the other hand alternately there are other ways of achieving the same effect. So I'll look into it but I still like "but".

Must there is not

And also remember the word "but" especially when used to answer to someone often means "not at all" or "I don't believe you". Example:
"You are rigt, but here it does not work that way"
"ITIL documentation is allways correct, but ..." (insert a BOKKE of your own choice)
