Any idea what Interzone's average response time is (rejections or acceptances)? I'm putting six months on my calendar when I send them a story tomorrow, but if anyone has any other insight, I'd love to hear it.

Accuracy We have received 82 reports within the past 12 months, not including pending responses (see below). The more responses reported, the more accurate the info.
Days Reported 5 min | 49 mean avg | 34 median | 249 max days (71 std dev)
Responses (92.68 %)
Acceptances: 0.00 % (No publication has a 0% acceptance rate. This data is based on response reports sent to Duotrope's Digest, and we have not received reports of any acceptances yet. If one acceptance were reported, the acceptance rate would be 1.20 %.)
Rejections: 92.68 % (39.7 avg. days per rejection) | 3.95 % personal, 85.53 % form, 10.53 % unspecified

I read the Duotrope times when I submitted. However, when I set up my reminders I prefer to go by what the publication says plus one week. Interzone doesn't have anything on their site other than "if you don't hear from us after a long while, assume we rejected your story" (in much nicer language). So I figured I'd ask here.
