helenmorrone - same thing happened to me. No response to full. Just when I was about to nudge because it had been several months, she wrote something snarky on Twitter about authors nudging, so I didn't nudge, and then I read further back in this thread that she only responds if there is an offer of rep, which I didn't have, so I closed it out as CNR. A simple form rejection email to a full request does not seem like too much to ask, and yet. Good luck on your new submission.

As of 10/5/19 Never heard back from them on my full manuscript request from 9/2016! Sent a nudge in 1/2017 and another nudge in April '17 and both times was told Dara was currently reading. Against my better judgement, just pitched her another novel. I replied to old email, hoping it might mean something to them, but I don't have high hopes. She does have a decent list of writers on Publisher's Marketplace, so maybe the original blow off was a one-time occurrence. We'll see. We are expected to jump through hoops for these people, but they can't even reply to a full manuscript request?

1/30/17 Still waiting for reply. Sent nudge after 10 weeks and got response two weeks later that they'd begun reading my full. Fingers crossed.
