Xenophon, I knew about the token, but hadn't realized the slush pile readership was by invitation only. I just knew by reputation that submissions were pretty weak and I already have too much to occupy my time to want to take that on.
SandySchwab, I hadn't heard that editors go through the slush pile in their free time. However, I'm guessing they're salary? So there's sort of a fuzzy line dividing free time from work time in their case anyway... and it's to their direct advantage to find something good in the slush pile.
