I agree with THX. Many individuals sending in discs will look like a grassroots, bottom-up campaign. Sending them all in at once will look like astroturfing. And the talk of the cost of shipping is a bit much. These are just 80mm plastic discs here; even if we somehow get a hundred, they can all be put in a spindle and sent via Media Mail for three dollars, or priority for $8.10. I think it's better to organize this as a project, with a permanent or long-term website encouraging people to send the SE discs home.

That's true, it won't be expensive to send the discs- media mail is cheap.
Whether or not it's a better idea to send them in individually or in bulk will be something we'll have to think about and discuss over the next few months.
