removing duplicate rules

My reply to the orig poster, my second, was sent off list, by error on my 
end.  I'm willing to accept a clue if I was incorrect in stating:

first time the rule is seen, it is applied.  now there can be cases whence
one wants the rule re-evaluated again, and thus might have multiple
instances, that would most often be in user define chains needing a
reapplication, though I can't think of any such instances off the top of 
my
head, unless the rule is only applied in user defined chains.

Thanks,

Ron DuFresne
