I=20finally got around to installing wmvolman.  I like it, it works reall=

I enjoyed reading the article.  There's something to be said about losing=
 control due to "user friendliness".  Sort of similar to losing our freed=

Side note:  That Yandex translate interface is fantastic!  It works reall=
