I expect he's referring to people who use google - google news usually
catches flack from the net-cops on some newsgroups I follow, generally
for it's default of top posting.  Don't know what gmail defaults to, but
maybe it does the same?

On the other hand, maybe he's referring to disreputable old men in grimy
trench coats that hang out in parks across from schoolyards.  (Think
Aqualung here.)

Regardless, both it and grok probably fall in the slang department -
your average person on the street won't catch the reference.  It's still
geek speak...
