Sorry to hear about the rough run of Rs.
I'm wondering what's up with IGMS, if they've had some sort of shift in policy or staff. I'm used to them being almost metronomic in their responses -- 30-32 day form R. Not just my stories, but that seems to have historically been the bulk of their replies, IIRC.
But in the last few weeks, they've been less consistent time-wise and they've hit about 20% personal Rs.
It may not mean anything. Maybe they're trying to finish up an issue or something, so pushed up a bunch of things that a first reader recommended or something.
Still. It's curious.
