If the position was posted in November, it probably didn't close until Nov. 30. Since December is the month with the most people using up vacation days in conjunction with the holidays, there have not been a whole lot of working days to sort and reply. Selected applicants usually get a call around 30 - 60 days after a posting closes. This one may take longer.
Nobody replies to all applicants. There is no reason to believe that Bruce is the exception. Usually only those who get past the initial screening. No news is no news.
Keep applying for jobs and forget about them until you hear from one of them.
