She followed me on twitter for a couple weeks. Today, I noticed she was no longer following me (maybe because of my rant about grammar being a barrier for people with disabilities or who are non-native speakers). I half expected a rejection to come shortly after I realized this. It hasn't yet. There is still hope.
Nudge: 6/5 - got an out of office auto response.
Replied an hour later saying she was behind on her queries and still in the end of March

@karenleespree On twitter, she said she responds to all queries and like AuthorCJBlack said, she also tweeted that she is up to queries from Marc 22. Not all agents respond in the exact order they came in. I wouldn't CNR yet.
