//idea to prevent 2 web calls per function call:
//1) Pull all groups when InfoGrabber is created, store them in an array.
//2) When updating a group or pulling a group by ID, we simply look through the array. If not in the array, throw an exception.
//so yes, I know 2 web calls per function call isn't good.
//pull the group before we update it.
