Multiple mod rewrite in htaccess

[adam]

Hi

Just inspecting my htaccess at root and i notice that it has multiple copies of the mod rewrite rule at the top… is this normal?

Or can i go on a culling expedition and knock them out.  I assume at this stage that possibly they have been created over time when starting / disabling/ reinstalling the plugin possibly?

Your thoughts would be much appreciated
htaccess reads:

# BULLETPROOF PRO 8.1 SECURE .HTACCESS

# If you edit the BULLETPROOF PRO 8.1 SECURE .HTACCESS text above
# you will see error messages on the BPS Security Status page
# BPS is reading the version number in the htaccess file to validate checks
# If you would like to change what is displayed above you
# will need to edit the BPS /includes/functions.php file to match your changes
# If you update your WordPress Permalinks the code between BEGIN WordPress and
# END WordPress is replaced by WP htaccess code.
