This fix worked! Thanks. Still using 1.8.5 and this helped clean things up. In my header there are a couple of other things I'd like to suppress (I have them turned off in WP SEO but Thesis generates them itself). One is the RSS Feed and the other is the RSD code. I see in the same file you reference where there are references to them but did not want to hose the site by tinkering with them myself. I was able to take out the Thesis canonical reference from the Thesis admin (WP SEO inserts that itself so I didn't want a duplicate) but if there was a way to suppress these other two items that would be great. Any ideas would be appreciated and thanks again for the great post!
