Yes, because it doesn't make sense to me. Suggesting a book is not the same as supporting - or, seconding or thirding - a suggested book. It's two completely different actions in thought and deed - at least it is to me. I don't know how to explain it better. Putting something up for vote is different from voting for it.

Added: I really don't know how to explain it better, except: Putting something up for vote is different from voting for it. It's two different things and two different roles you put on to do these things. I hope I make sense.

In any case, so far it has confused me, and I've had the impression, by following the example of others, that I had more than three in total of both nominations as well as supporting nominations of nominated books.

It's probably a fine number, but a number of us seem to be confused, perhaps we should either look at changng the rules or perhaps at least changing the way of communicating those rules.
