Multipost: posting individual messages to multiple newsgroups one-at-a-time
(i.e., send a message to group1, then compose the same message and send it
to group2
Crosspost: posting a single message simultaneously to several newsgroups by
putting a list of the newsgroups in the message's To field. When a message
is crossposted, replies to the post are automatically sent to all the
crossposted groups
crossposting good - multiposting bad
We usually frown upon multiposting because it is hard to carry on a
conversation in multiple places. it's like you go into a room shout out "how
do I do this?", run to another room without waiting for a reply, shout the
message into that room , etc. People in the third room will probably not
appreciate wasting their time trying to help with a problem that was already
resolved in the first room.
In this case, you have done well by posting to a single group. Oops, it was
the wrong group. There should be no one who criticizes you for posting to
the correct group, especially if you preface that with post with an
explanation that you found out you had initially posted to the wrong group.

So Mike,
Just trying to get this newsgroup netiquette thing down. Now that you
have stated this is an HTML issue, should I submit a post to an HTML
group or is that still considered cross-posting?
Thanks.

creating an entire cell as a hyperlink not valid HTML?
Not as far as I know.
Should I use this instead or would I still experience the issue in a
non-IE
browser?
<td onClick="location.href='msn.com'">Some Link Text</td>
Best try it out. I've never used it. This has definitely become an
html issue.
I am trying not to cross post because every time I do that people
yell at me. What is the best method of posting when it pertains to
multiple groups?

Please reply to the newsgroup. The email account listed in my From
header is my spam trap, so I don't check it very often. You will get a
quicker response by posting to the newsgroup.
