Two "A" selectors?

I noticed in your CSS code you have two "A" selectors. Why is that?

You have the following:

a { text-decoration: none; }

and later down in the file you have:

a { color: #6ab47b; }

Wouldn't it be better practice or coding technique to just do this?

a { text-decoration: none; color: #6ab47b; }

Both works, but I agree, It's probably better to gather all of them within a single selector. As the selector is the same !

I was thinking the same, but after this lesson (Organzise CSS with Comments) it made sense again to separate them if you like to group all the color rules together...
