Good thing I didn't write the one I thought of first, because then I would have broken the rules... 
Anyway, I seem to recall that this is what John said to the IRS people when they knocked on his door in search of somebody to audit...

So with the sad demise of Workspaces and TV the question must be, "What next for CP?".
What would you like to see added or investigated? A public API has been mentioned quite a few times over the last few years, so apart from that.
For me:
API - but I won't mention that

How about a test to prove you can think for yourself and locate Google before you can post a question?

Why Google test. Here is a Google test. Once they want to post a question in QA just put popup a message dialogue saying this: "Do you know what Google does?" And in a red button marked with a X put the yes button. And in a green tick button put the No. Only when they tick yes can they proceed other wise just link them to Google.

Now let's be fair on Bing.
It's perfectly good for finding the documentation you need... so long as you're looking for MSDN, and you type the exact name of what you're looking for.

FTFY!
It's a bit like a paper dictionary: excellent provided you can already spell the word...

That kind of redesign can lead to close the QA too...

In a lot of ways, that would be an improvement: focus the site back on being about Quality rather than Quantity.
I still feel (as did Luc Pattyn) that QA was a mistake - an attempt to "out-SO" SO which detracted from the programming forums and the article quality and has become largely a "do my homework" hangout. I'm pretty sure there are a couple of members holding down full time jobs purely by posting QA questions!

Even I have a 7 year old account I didn't used it really for over 6 years so I can't remember how it was before QA, but will happy to give a chance CP without QA...

Yes, I can see that. To be true I was tempted in the last few weeks to open an other account and send some basic (and not so basic) MVC (I'm in a process of design using MVC) questions just for fun, but hold myself...

You still using Mention dot com?
I dropped it as it was giving too many false positives (even with a relatively uncommon name like mine).
How are you doing sir?

Hello Sir, I'm doing just fine, thank you.
No, not mention.com; I rely on my built-in radar.
So, CP terminated ::Workspaces? The CP search engine not digesting colons, the name alone looked like a mistake...

Workspaces and TV.
Don't think either of them made any money, and they pulled resources away from the main site. Just my guess though.

Well, when someone post a question on Q&A you could just get the title and redirect him to Let Me Google That For You[^].
Sorry, my english is bad beta!

We've done that before, but it's frowned upon to a certain extent because some of the question posters can't see it as a solution - just an insult.
