Hey, Awers.
For all of us, I think that the Ideal is a glowing acceptance letter, but that isn't always possible.
I've been submission my novel around and I've been encountering a lot of 'If We Don't Contact You In 2-3 Weeks, Assume We've Passed.'
Any agent that has the time to give you a detailed letter spelling out exactly why they're not interested probably aren't paying much attention to the authors on their list, so I've always been fine with Form Letters. The 'Only Respond to the Authors We're Interested In' should be the logical extension to the Form Letter, but I've always felt like it left things uncomfortable open-ended. It's obviously over. Pack up your things and head home. I know that, but the Form letter always cemented the fact for me. Does anyone else feel this way?
