I would rather hear people complain than to think about some great bloodlines that could be greatly diminished in the Sim by doing that.

Billy reminded me of a short term stock market player. Lol
^ +1 Not about missing him, but about that he reminded me of a short term trader too. Like 90 percent of short term traders, it sounds like he wasn't making any money.

He used to send me lowball offers on my stuff like a million for something I paid 3 for. Then he would "up" his offer to 1.2 million. Like an extra 200K of sim bucks would change my mind and make me sell something potentially very nice. Honestly, he didn't seem to understand that some of us value the sim bucks as nothing. Alternately, racing the horses and the experience is viewed as priceless.

Normally I'd agree with Stormy on this, but as someone who is scrambling to put together hundreds of thousands of sim bucks to buy back a nice horse I gave away to a player who then left, there's a part of me that's having a Franky Dam 'if I can't have her no one can' moment. But I'll get over it. ;)
