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.
That one is dead, and not flagged dead. Maybe email the Contact link at the bottom of the page and ask what's up.
