I feel you @qbee2001. I sent my query to them on 12/30/2021 and received a rejection through Query Manager on 4/07/2023. They must have a gigantic slush pile!! Hahaha!

FINALLY FUCKING REJECTED on 5/24/2023
No email or notification saw today after randomly checking. No feedback or comments either just you have been rejected.
Fucking hurtful waste of time.

Full request received 4/20/23
