This frequently happens with my submissions; the flammable material doesn't always catch fire with the first strike. And it's probably not worth complaining about.. hear me out.
Reframing it: Are you pleased you were able to accurately predict something that ended up being of interest to a great many people? You deserve to feel good about this! In the end, the thing got shared as intended. This is success.

HN points are probably the most worthless form of currency, except for maybe crypto.

- metadat 4y agoThat sounds like the second chance pool. So it's possible the submitter actually originally submitted it before you! Funny, I never thought about this being a reachable state. You're right, it is confusing. I email Dang (hn@ycombinator.com) when I'm confused or unclear on site behavior. He's awfully generous to humor me.
