Ray handing you the torch and walking off is the quietest "told you so" ever, and yeah, I've eaten that same humble pie.

lmao same thing happened to me, I thought my case was clean because the side window looked fine, then I pulled the front panel off and it was straight up felt in there. now I just take the whole thing outside and go at it with a brush every few months, way less drama than the vacuum

Tracking pipeline per lead changed my mind, since cheap leads that never close cost way more.
