Thanks Joe. No, resteeming it won't make it payable again. There used to be an initial 24 hour payout period followed by a 30 day payout period after that, but very few bothered to vote on posts after 24 hours. Eventually they moved to a 7 day window. It's a lot easier for the code to handle that way.
I appreciate your encouragement. When I published this post, my tweet about it got retweeted by Max Keiser so I think it got quite a bit of attention at the time.
My perspective on Steemit is to just keep creating great value. Not all of your posts will be recognized in $$$ value, but that's not what it's all about here. For me, I just keep creating great content and enjoy the process.
