I agree with all the comments pointing out the potential hazards of getting to know other UKP member IRL.
Having said that, a slight twist on the main topic of conversation did occur to me while reading this thread. In my circle of friends there are a few that have acknowledged they punt from time to time, and they know the same about me (I know that's a topic hat's been covered in other threads).
It's an unspoken agreement between us, that for all of our own safety, we keep any punting discussion to a practically non existent, absolute minimum. No details, just the very rare cryptic comment, joke or knowing look. I'm now feeling tempted to ask them if they are UKP members. But for all the same reasons already mentioned here, it would be a bad idea.
