Also, there is something we should remember: The voting process often takes months, even when there is only one pic/quote suggested. The quote for magic mushrooms, for instance, took two months, and the vote for the Magic Mirror's pic has been going on for four (!) months now, and still it is not finished. Even when we announce the vote on the forums, it often takes a looong time.

See my point? If we follow the original suggestion, where we only allow one suggestion per round of voting, it will have, well, without trying to sound over dramatic, serious consequences, and for many articles, the process of finding the right quote/pic would take even longer than before - and we already know how long it can take, even where multiple suggestions are allowed. It is much better to let counter-suggestions be allowed within the same comment thread, but not in a new one.
