The strength in our third-quarter financial results is cause for excitement. I'm particularly pleased that we continue to demonstrate impressive growth at the same time we are engaged in important merger discussions.

I used practically all the money I had available.

I know what I don't know. To this day, I don't know technology, and I don't know finance or accounting.

Well, you have to understand where we came from. We are not here because we decided 10 years ago that we were going to be x-size company, and, oh, yeah, Jackson would be a good headquarters. We work here in Mississippi because we started here, and we are certainly happy here. Those of us working out of Jackson intend to continue working out of Jackson.

I know I lost my temper, but I tried to be human along the way.

I have some assets that over time will be worth something. I've been in the process of selling others.

I just want you to know you aren't going to church with a crook.
