Awesome, thanks Nick. I realize its not the easiest task to track down the owner of stuff like this. But I thought if I asked sooner than later there would be a higher chance to clean up that group. Doing it years from now, it'll be much hard to track down the owners of that group so I appreciate your efforts. You're welcome, I just hope it doesn't feel as daunting as it looks once I get started haha
