Ever been frustrated by how the two volume controls interact on a dual-humbucker axe? Here’s how to make them work independently.

Huh. I knew they worked this way…. But I didn’t know I had a problem. I actually use the middle position more than I do the other two.

Yes, but the scuttlebutt was what can one do if they don't want their controls to act like the Normal Gibson operation?
In other words, to make it so that the volume knobs act totally independently even when in the middle position.

You can by adding resistors to the circuit. The resistors can add some noise; component quality and guitar shielding become more important.
