I'm afraid this won't work for us, but others might feel differently, so obviously, don't take my response as the final word.

Form rejection 9/15. Of note: there was an email trail of form rejections to other authors in his response. Unfortunate but happens, won’t take it personally.

Polite and quick, which is better than being left hanging for months. Sounds complimentary but very general so most likely a form rejection.
I'm afraid this won't work for us. Today, publishers typically make business (rather than artistic/creative) decisions; only taking on what their sales and marketing departments say is a sure thing. And although this reads quite well - it isn't sure to break out of a very crowded marketplace. However, others might feel differently, so please don't take my response as the final word.
Sincerely,
Steve Schwartz

Short rejection that work wasn't right for them. Was polite, but likely a form type rejection.
No reply. But another agent in his agency (Jessica) requested me to submit during the #PitchMAS pitch party on Twitter on 12/12. So I sent her my query and told her that I have a pending query with Steve. She said she'll forward my email to him.
Update: Steve finally replied. It's a pass for him.
