Vince doesn't always reply to questions. if he wants something ignored, he ignores it. trust me, i have taken up points with him before and it's the same thing.
for example, i asked about two shots he took of Arnold and Menzter at the 1980 Olympia. the photos were both reversed, yet Vince claims otherwise and failed to tell me who exactly reversed them and why. ignoring my questions.
it's quite obvious why he deleted the photos.
