It would be no surprise to my colleagues, who roll their eyes whenever I mention securitization, that one of my favorite websites is Vinod Kothari's Securitization Website. What it lacks in sophisticated design, it more than makes up for in sheer volume of information about a fairly arcane topic. And Vinod Kothari's enthusiastic analysis of all things securitization (even one of my articles) makes me think that if he ever showed up at our office in person, my co-workers would run screaming for the door.

Anyway, I was surprised to see that my Securitization Update came to me today courtesy of AmericanSingles.com. "Jumpstart your love life at AmericanSingles.com!" (I could be cute and include that as a hyperlink, but if you want to get there from here, you can type in the link yourself). I'm guessing that sponsor was automatically generated--Vinod's newsletter relies on public newsgroup tools. But I think it points out that securitization-geeks have feelings too.

Or at least, my colleagues will no doubt respond, they have trouble getting dates.
