I've noticed this happening quite a bit, and was wondering if it's really in the spirit of StackOverflow.
Someone posts a question, which is very quickly answered by someone with what initially seems like an authoritative answer (but is actually incorrect or lacking in any real depth or thought).
As other people begin to post answers which they have taken more time over, the person who posted the first quick-fire answer begins to edit their post to take elements of everyone else's answer and incorporate them into their own.
The result is that the person who initially posted a wrong answer ends up with what looks like the most comprehensive and correct answer in the thread.
I don't care about the reputation side of it, but it's frustrating to see people doing this to seemingly just get ANY answer in ASAP, rather than taking time to consider what they're actually posting.
How could this be addressed? Maybe a time-limit on edits? Or a set amount of edits allowed on a post?
