I would definitely recode.  One of the purpose of reviewing is to find 
these types of redundancies, whether due to mistake, over-coding, or 
lack of appropriate category at that time.  

Generally, I try to stick to removing only codes that I am currently 
dealing with, but when I come across a post  that obviously fits better 
into someone else's category, I'll make the changes, mark Review 
coding, and leave a comment in the comments box.
