Analog Submission in Promising Territory

I have some hopeful news. I have a submission that's now been at Analog longer than any of the rejections listed on the statistics sites I use: Duotrope, Ralan, and Submitting to the Black Hole.
That could mean that the Dr. Stanley Schmidt (the editor of Analog) is giving it a second look. Or it could mean my manuscript got mangled in a mail sorter in the post office way back in October. Only time will tell...
