I sent a query about my 70,500 mystery to him on 10/14/25. 15 minutes later, I get a request for the full. He also asked if any other agents had the full and I said no. I never heard back after six months, then I sent a polished full back on 4/14/26, hoping for some answer to nudge him. I know he read the email from the timestamp, but he still hasn't responded. Would you take that as a rejection? Did this happen to anyone else? I would think he would have at least told me something.
