One of the six queries I sent out over the weekend was to a New York agency who promise to reply within a week, interested or not.
I emailed them on Sunday afternoon, got a robot reply that they were out of town for the holiday weekend and I should try again next week.
I came home from the office yesterday to a very politely worded rejection. Thanks, this sounds interesting, but it's not what we're looking for right now.
It's always nice to receive a personal note rather than a form letter, but it was the timestamp of the email that impressed me most. 13:36. That's 8:36am New York time. He can't have been in the office much more than half-an-hour. If I'm going to be rejected (and I am), I wish it could always be like this. Swift and painless, rather than hanging on for weeks wondering if the email got through. Brilliant.

I'm glad - it means that some of them, at least, are looking at your submission to them!
<3 Hang in there, someone will pick it up and love it.
You deserve to succeed Digger. I won't commit the time that's why I'm doing what I'm doing.
Good luck matey.
