I don't mind form rejections on querries either. I can't stand them when I've had a partial out for weeks with the agent- just a little hint as to the why or how of it would placate me.

I write down in a book where I've already queried so I don't bother them again but once I've read the rejection it kind of gets tossed. Which is odd for me, given I keep everything else forever. And I do mean everything.<br />As to finding a backdoor/window, they say where there is a will, there is a way and you clearly had the will.
