I will miss the many years I have been involved with our AF Illawarra, as a teacher and member and of course the web site manager and can no longer work with an organisation, that no longer upholds the valued protocols and procedures of the AF as a global identity.
Thank you for the many wonderful years

11th May: New WEBSITE for the AF Illawarra
www.afillawarra.com.au (the old one was : www.afillawarra.com)
(Have to share this with you, my last entry on this website)
And welcome to the now "AI" site.
If you want to contact anyone, you go to info@afillawarra.com and leave a message.
Instantly you will receive a reply from afillawarra-com-au@hsend.ai, (note the .ai at the end (not an .au) You will be speaking to a ROBOT.
All about <.ai> email endings
The .ai domain is the country code for Anguilla, in one of the Caribbean islands.
Over time, it has become popular globally among artificial intelligence (AI) companies, startups, and tech professionals, because "AI" also stands for artificial intelligence.
Using a .ai email address often signals a connection to technology, innovation, or AI, making it appealing for branding and professional identity.
An .ai email address can convey modernity and tech-saviness, especially in industries like software, machine learning or AI, however, it is important to ensure that the domain is reputable and not mistaken for spam or unofficial sources. For professional communication, pairing a .ai email with a clear signature and proper email sign-off enhances credibility.
AI-Assisted Email Writing
Emails using . AI means, an AI Email Writer, which will suggest subject lines, will "polish/shorten content, add context-aware options (and from your robot).
And of course, you will be dealing with, "the dreaded" (and you'll know what I mean) automatically included "polite closing lines and professional sign-offs such as" "Best regards," "Kind regards," or "Sincerely," followed by your name and contact information
When I first looked at the new site, I saw that I am listed on the site as teaching my 3 classes, so I sent a message "Pease remove my name from the classes offered."
This was my INSTANT reply.
