CNR at 51 days. I saw that he responded negatively to others before and after, but also positively. I think I'm in the 'I forgot' pile as it seems many people hear nothing for a very long time. Moving on!!!!

The majority of submissions he received in August (the month I submitted my query) have gone without response, according to the query timeline. Those relative few he did respond to were done either in August or September. I've had no response from the nudge, so I think that, after 82 days with nothing, I'm just going to CNR this one. Very disappointing.
Update:
Just got the rejection notice. About as form letter-y as you can get:
"Thank you for your query. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that your project does not seem like one I could successfully represent at this time. I hope you succeed in your search for enthusiastic representation.
All best,
Jon"

Well... sent a nudge after 11 weeks (their website says that they generally respond in 6-8 weeks). Hope the nudge doesn't automatically result in an immediate rejection. Nudges always make me nervous.
