fglovestowrite - I'm less understanding than you, LOL, I think this method of outsourcing the slush to "the other agencies" and then only being ready to pick up a manuscript when someone else requests it to be unethical and unfair both to writers and the agencies who do read their slush. But it seems a lot of agencies do this.

Form response. This is not a judgement, just an observation...based on the pattern and timing of rejections, it seems this agent is only waiting for people who get offers from another agency to then do a request? That's okay, I can understand using this as a tactic, especially if you are heading the agency. Just wanted to provide context here to help others in these querying trenches to manage expectations and ease anxiety. I know this proess is grueling for us all! The good fight continues!
