I didn't interpret the thread as saying that they pulled it because there was a possible error with the blank canvas.  Especially when StaceyG said " You didn't have an image. You had a blank white thumbnail and a blank white image. That isn't an "image"".

That was AFTER he had apparently made some explaination of his image - reading posts beforehand told me that at first they thought it was a mistake - and why use space on the server for a mistake (that second part was just me posing a theory - but do you get it?)?

As CapnJack said - they were back and forth referring to PM/IM conversation.
