No. There's not been so much to discuss the last couple of weeks, most of the attention being focused on the one-and-a-half leadership campaigns that have been going on.
The problems caused by the referendum result haven't gone away - the indications are that confidence in the UK economy is down by about 10 percent since a month ago - nor have the Leave campaign's statements got any more true. We're no closer to having any kind of plan. It's just that not much has moved recently, so there's less to stimulate debate here.
We have not gone away. We are neither deranged nor deluded. We have - being mostly of working age - been quietly getting on with our jobs (you wouldn't want us scrounging benefits now, would you?) In fact, between us we're probably doing more to try to right the economic wrong of the Leave vote than all the Leave voters here combined.
The political wrong is a different matter. But you can't lose - sorely or otherwise - a game whose rules were never defined. It ain't over yet.
