Why must I disable my menu blocks ...

Why must I disable my menu blocks to get them to appear only once?
If I enable either of the new menus I have created, they appear twice. If I disable them they only appear once but not even close to where I want them.
Very new to Drupal here and trying to use the Democratica theme.
Does it happen
with other themes?

Thanks Styro
Yes it was happening with every theme but the problem lied in administer --> settings --> menu.
Menu containing Primary links was set as Primary Links, which is fine. It's just that it shows up automatically without being enabled in Blocks. If I enable it it appears twice. Could be handy if you want to repeat the menu in the footer I suppose.
To get my secondary links menu to stop appearing twice I specified that there are no secondary links.

I think I know what was happening
Every menu gets a block created for it that is disabled by default. So your primary menu got a block made for it.
The system that gives you the primary and secondary links in the page header doesn't use that block as the links are formatted differently. They are visible when the block is disabled because they aren't showing the block.
Generally the theme (not the block system) is in charge of handling the primary and secondary menus in the page header. Most people just leave the primary and secondary menu blocks disabled.
Does that clarify things a bit?
Note: I think things might change a little in Drupal 5.0.
