Neither, look carefully at the newsgroup line. It's "ti" (pronounced 
"tea"), the name of a Hawaiian houseplant and not "TI," the infamous 
semi-conductor manufacturer in Texas. 

The ti plant is really quite beautiful and easy to maintain. It's leaves
are palm-like and usually red and green in color. Introduced from Hawaii,
where it grows in the wild, it's not grown from seed but from "logs,"
which are actually root cuttings. Just keep this little guy's roots
nice and damp, not overly wet and soggy, and it will return you with
years of service  (Which is more than we could ever say about that
infamous semi-conductor manufacturer in Texas who once dabbled in the
Professional Computer business!)

Hope this helps...
