I think perhaps you just need to study it a bit better.
Cause that has little to do with the power of the editor, and more about your understanding of it, I think.
Check the editor notes, page 6.... in this topic you'll find it:

And a little FYI.. email does not take longer to reach you because you're in America. The internet isn't that slow.
The CMMs just need time to respond, obviously. If and when your wrongly submitted mission has been checked, then they send the email. Location in the world has very little to do with it, apart from timezones of course.
I adapted the title of the topic. It wasn't really fair to blame the editor when you're just not clear on how to use it.
Kind Regards,
Fred
