Write a blog about the problems, what you've done to try to fix it, and how nginx is completely unusable and you're going to switch to apache/netscape/caddy.

Post it to HN, get traction.

Get way more help and responses than you can shake a stick at, and track where they come from.

It's a proven research method. I forget the name, but post the wrong answer to annoy someone else to provide the right one.

You missed your chance to say it was Culligan's Law until someone angrily corrected you. ;)
