"The fact that both of them had evasive responses, showed me that they had no intention on answering my question truthfully:"
the fact that they answered your first e-mail at all is a huge surprise to me... their reply was a bit careful since they didn't know who you were or why you were asking...yet they did reply...amazingly..
and with the door opened, you chose in your second e-mail to reveal your bias and use a mocking tone which convinced them you were not worth a reply...and you didn't get one..
