>      Unfortunately, Deni Loubert (nee Sim) is resigning as publisher

Aha! Another misuse of an obscure english word!
"Nee" comes from the French root for "born", since
it refers to someone's name at birth.

Thus, while Dave and Deni were still married, she was
Deni Sim, nee Loubert.

Now that they are divorced, she has taken her old
last name back and it again Deni Loubert.

Incidentally, a couple of months ago, the mastheads on
the AV books all started to say "Dave Sim, President"
above the "Deni Loubert, Publisher" line.
Not sure what this meant at the time, and now it looks
like it won't matter.

As long as you're here, how about a joke?

A woman goes into the Welfare Office to fill out a form,
and signs it "O".
The case worker says, "When you were in a few months
ago, you signed the form "X".
She replies, 
"I got divorced, and took back my maiden name."


Merry Christmas, etc.
See you (or actually read you)
all after the start of the New Year.
