thanks @ar_wondrous , it's much appreciated. I don't have socials, so i was not aware. I'm not even sure what Threads is, but the information is very useful.

@eswtmon01 and @WitchyGinger -- on August 19 via Threads, this agent posted the following: "If I am passing based on my initial read of your submission, you'll get a response from me within 1-7 days. If you made it to my maybe pile, you'll get a response from me within 1-6 months. **NOTE: QM automatically marks things as CNR after 90 days, but please know that's not accurate for me! I respond to every query; if you haven't gotten a response from me after the 90 day mark, you're in my maybe pile. If I requested your full, you'll get a response on my read within 1-4 months. Of course, these aren't exact numbers and sometimes extenuating circumstances can make me slower but in general, this is what you should expect if you queried me."

@WitchyGinger - I am hoping the same and her backlog of around 300 suggests you could be correct, but visibility is not given to agents workflow to see if we are on the maybe pile. My query was June 24
