8/3/21 - agent withdrew interest as it 'isn't a good time to take on a new client.' also mentioned the QM file attachment would not open, but file was fine prior to attaching. Shrug. Keep on keepin' on.

PR 7/24/19 and I sent the same day
Read an update on his agent profile that he has been closed to queries since Dec 2019, and as of Sept 2020, he is going through partial and full MS requests. Still no update on my querytracker but keeping fingers crossed.

CNR 8/3/2020
I sent polite prods ("is the delay b/c I did anything wrong with the submission/file?") at the 6 and 9 month mark, never got a response. I sent another prod at 12mo, but unless I hear back, it's CNR. I need an agent who can get back to me in less than a year.
I'm a bit surprised he reached out at all, even if it was just to declutter his QM, but it's still nice that he did so.
Anyway, from what I can tell from the timeline, his last sub response was at the end of August.
Still, hard to give up hope. I still check every week to see if there's been any activity reported.
I mean, the point of QM is to be able to reply to everything so...? Things have been busy and stressful for everyone so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Looking at the QT submissions responses, I don't see any for a long time.
PR: 8/2 sent same day
Yeah, I'm on day 300, myself. Haven't nudged yet though.
