Don't take it personal, HN is always hit and miss, sometimes someone reposts the story 2h later and it gets traction just because a few people happen to have browsed /new and upvoted it.

That's the reason why there's a "second chance" pool where things can be revived.

sehw: I can't reply to your post as it's marked "dead", but the points are not important, that's why they are not a very visible part of the page in any case. Complaining about being downvoted is usually counter-productive.

Just continue to share interesting links, comment on topics you care about and don't worry about the silly internet points.
