I’m a bit unhappy about this post.

I know the moderator is right i.e. you don’t “own” it still spending time and effort trying to solve it I got annoyed when somebody else “jumped my post”. Man being a protective animal. Since the forum members live in different time zones how about an 8 to 10 hrs time of grace before somebody else jump in?
Yes let’s keep the OPs happy by all means but what makes a person spend time and effort trying to solve problems in this forum? For me it’s partly to pay back for help received. Then it’s the intellectual challenge in solving a problem (all of it!) and finally the satisfaction one gets when the occasionally the OP marks the tread “Solved” and click on the scale and rate your answer.
If somebody posts a very impressive solution to a problem I can click on his/hers scale icon and add a comment but can I add points as well?
If I click on the “Rate Thread” can add a rating to the thread but do I add a rating to the participants of the tread at the same time?
Most eager to too see if I get any response to my grumblings and rambling.
