@engstromdd Thank you for your response. I guess I will have to continue to wait. I don't see the point in withdrawing my query regardless.

@JoshHDavidson She was ticking along there very regularly until May 7, about two days after she closed, but Data Manger shows no responses after that date. It looks like almost all queries submitted prior to March 6 have been answered, while there are frequent "skips" in queries submitted between March 6 and March 10. (Her previous response pattern has been to go back later and fill these in) while only a handful of queries that arrived later than March 10 have been answered. I haven't seen any statements about illness, family emergency, etc. so I assume she's just got a lot of client work or something.
I subbed on March 11 (lolsob) but I'm not waiting to submit to another High Line agent so I plan to wait this out.

I haven't seen any comments in here for this agent in a long while. For a while they appeared quite regularly. My query is now getting to 90 days old, which is over what she posted for her 12 weeks. I'm beginning to think that my query was overlooked entirely.

@tmont98 her automated response on QM states she may take up to 12 weeks to respond.

Closing at 50 days. Very low reply rate so it's a safe bet she's not interested.
