So you're saying you sent the 60 day deadline AFTER you've let it sit for the specified deadline?

That's a lot better than what I thought you meant by just saying 60 days for all unsolicted material.

And I can see that it would get a lot more positive responses.

Oh, jeez, no, I don't specify a deadline in my cover letter.

In all cases the journal in question was at least nine months past their specified response time, and hadn't responded to a previous query about my ms status.
