It's been a year, so I'm counting it as a CNR and probably won't query this agent in the future.

As I'm reading the comments, this agent ghosts you for as long as one year or even no reply at all for 2 years. They only reply if you nudge them.

I will not pursue to query this agent or any of my future projects. It saves us both time.
