Hello everyone,I was wondering if anyone has reached out to the writers of Owlcation directly, who appear to have forged articles from Discover.HubPages. If not, I encourage people to do so. I think there is still a lack of clarity as to why these articles exist. Maybe if we try to communicate with...
