a) Not trying to be rude. I was trying to get input from people having a similar problem.

My point is that jumping onto a 2-year old, inactive thread is not the best way of going about this.

... I have to fight through waves of CI uberfans telling me that "CI is perfect, blame Microsoft" in order to get a real world solution. I want to code, I don't want to have to fight my way though political ideologies and zealots to do so.

Yes, quite. You're certainly not coming across as fanatical at all.

Anyhoo, I suggest you start a new thread, clearly describing your problem(s), providing code, walk-throughs on how to recreate the problem, etc.

Pointing at old threads that have been (AFAICT) pretty much debunked, and hinting at the nature of your current woes, isn't hugely helpful. I know that n0xie, and presumably others, have previously addressed some or all of the concerns you've raised. This might explain why you're being vague here and just asserting 'it's broken' - rather than being a bit more concise in your bug report.
