To syn or not to syn(opsis)

I've been researching agents and there is one (in my mind) I must query. Here's the deal. If I send the submission to the agency and hope the head honcho sends it to the proper agent, then a synopsis should be included.

This particular agent's guidelines (on the agency web site) don't mention a synopsis. I was reading profiles and interviews and they disagree as to what the agent wants (grain of salt, I suspect the profiler(s) lifted copy from the agency's site) but the agent never mentions a synopsis when asked about guidelines.

Should I leave the synopsis out since the particular agent doesn't mention it?

btw - the agent is young and hungry.

If they don't explicitly mention it I wouldn't worry about it, and if they really want it they'll ask you. Either way though it's probably not going to be make or break so don't sweat it too much.

My lazy human was hoping you'd say that. Thanks
