Sent notice of offer of rep from another agent. This guy has 19 pages of mostly negative comments on Absolute Write. So I think we're probably done here anyway.

Not sure what happened here. Status was outstanding when I logged on then changed to declined at some point during my session.
Query Age at 121 days and no response so will close anyway

Next day request for full. The request came with a warning that NF is all about platform these days, so I'll cross my fingers but I won't hold my breath.

CNR 4/15/19 (Though this automatically closed last fall last year, I did nudge him and heard back from him in February--he said to check my spam for a response. I did. Nothing there. No more responses from him up until this point before he changed to Query Manager.)
