It is very easy if you realize that his minor edits are for the purpose of making sure that his contribution is *the* top contribution in that particular thread of discussion (allow me to use the word discussion since Wikipedia is like a discussion board where the latest poster's contributions are on top and many of the users are not knowledgeable.)

As much as I dislike Libertarian, I have to agree with him/her here. Wik is very difficult, and needs to be completely banned or made to understand that his/her edit does not HAVE to be the most recent.

Agreed. I know that my first hours at wikipedia I found it useful to edit most recently to make it easy to spot which edits on my watchlist I hadn't seen.
After that, I realized it was stupid, and stopped. Hopefully Wik can do the same.
