Is it is? Or is it ain't?

After months of toiling away on one of my tomes (ok, just a measly short story) and submitting it to a literary magazine last November, and subsequently waiting more months - I'd given it up for dead, actually - I finally receive the following response:

Hi Margaret.

Thanks for submitting "Of Pizza and Fortune Cookies" to Pindeldyboz. I really like it; it was totally unexpected but I enjoyed how it unfolded. I think the action could be even more subtle, making the tension more palpable.
Thanks for thinking of us and we're sorry for the delayed response. We work with a volunteer team of turtles on Quaaludes; they're great editors though.

Best.

Now, people.

I ask you.

Was that a YES? or a NO?

Discuss.
