Am I missing something here?  Is Warp reissuing MASK?  Warp has
nothing to do with the MASKs being so expensive.  They're expensive
because there are only 100-400 of each issue and probably a good 5,000
people who wish to buy them.  It's simple supply and demand market
economics.  The top wealthiest people (or those willing to spend the
most) get the MASK releases.  It's simple capitalism really.  If Warp
re-released the MASKs the originals would be worth a lot less.

So here's to hoping Warp does!  That'd make a LOT of people happy (and
a few people really pissed).  Hell, even a CD compilation would be
wicked cool!
