So if we queried through email rather than QM, should we assume it won't get answered I wonder?

It looks like he's skipping nearly all the email queries and responding primarily to the form queries, though he does occasionally skip those too. Confusing as his guidance on his agent page requests email submissions.

Dear <Name>,
I greatly appreciate the opportunity to consider your query—thanks for sending it.
Unfortunately, the query didn't appeal quite enough to my own tastes to inspire me to offer representation or further consideration of your project. I wish I had the time to respond to everyone with constructive criticism, but it would be overwhelming, hence this form response.
This business is highly subjective; many people whose work I haven't connected with have gone on to critical and commercial success. So, keep after it.
I am grateful that you have afforded me this opportunity to find out about you and your project, and wish you the best of success with your current and future creative work.
All best wishes,
Eddie Schneider
VP, Jabberwocky Literary Agency, Inc.
