Why is this update roll up being offered?

(To fully understand this, it might be helpful to read the question I posted
yesterday, "Where did the updates go?")

Okay, so to fix a problem I had after installing SP1, in which the updates
from the twelfth that I had not installed yet had disappeared from the
Windows Update page, I uninstalled SP1a. Then, I went back to WU and one of
the updates from the twelfth (840987) was reoffered (along with a couple of
others that I didn't recognize off-hand), but I was fairly certain that I had
already installed it. Nevertheless, I installed it again, then reinstalled
SP1a, making sure this time that it "fully" installed. (The first time I
installed, I got knocked off line during "Running processes after install".)

Well, along with having SP2 reoffered again, I finally got one of 12th
updates back (841356), along with the cumulative updates for IE SP1 (834707)
and Outlook, which I expected. I'm no longer concerned about the other
updates from the twelfth, because I have the update numbers from the bulletin
and I plan to just find them individually. However, the one update I can't
account for is 826939, which is an update rollup. Why is this being offered
and should I go ahead and install it?

Thanks. ^_^

And I hope my explanation wasn't too confusing...

the roll up includes the security updates that come with SP2, but without
SP2. doesn't seem much point in installing them individualy when the roll up
is there to save you the hassle. hey but healthy paranoia is good
