If I remember correctly, they're known for that...even when they only took postal submissions they'd respond in under 10 days routinely. But hey, I kinda like it. If they don't want/need your poems right now, it's best, I think, to know right away. Frees you up to send them elsewhere right away.
I just sent them my 4 most recent submission-ready poems...maybe they'll write me tomorrow morning, too. :)
Good luck with your next submission, Eduardo!
you are so cool, eduardo.
