The rejection, word for word, I have seen in an article from 2015.
ER: Mar 31
Polite form letter similar to what others have shared: While this is definitely the kind of project I am interested in, ultimately I wasn’t as taken with your manuscript as I need to be in order to fully get behind it, and so I’m going to pass. -- etc

I accept e-mail and snail-mail queries (although email is preferable), and will usually respond within 5-8 weeks.
I believe he answers everything but takes a while. I hope this helps.
Hi [Agent name]!
I just wanted to check in to see if you’ve had time to consider AWESOME BOOK NAME. No rush–I know you’re very busy, and I appreciate your time.
Thanks so much,

Horror, 115k words. Form letter rejection, but a nice one
So writers who are not native English speakers be careful about querying him, as whatever he means, that tone doesn't sit right with me at all.
It bothers me when agents ask for fulls and then never ever respond back. It's disrespectful to authors who are holding our breaths to get an agent and we get so close only to get ghosted.
OK, that's my #tenqueries. Got a few hits this time, which is nice.
I have now responded to all queries through 12/31/20, not including partial/full requests.
