Duplicate links...

What is the proper protocol for getting around the "duplicate link failure"?
Let's say you've got a CSS styled menu... And at the bottom of your page,
you've got footer links that go to the same places... The Cynthia Says WCAG
report fails it...

Is there a recommended method of getting around this? Is it really confusing
to a user to have these same links accessible at both the top and bottom of
the page? Or is this a case of "I know best," and you just ignore the
failure?

Thanks... Stephanie
