Lonewacko issues clarification; admits mistakes might have been made

"On January 13, 2005, The Lonewacko Blog posted the entry "Hey, yahoo!" about a Romanian child named "Yahoo" because his parents met over the Internet.

It has now come to our attention that this might have been a hoax.

We regret not applying the usual standards of journalistic excellence that our readers expect.

Mistakes might have been made, and we deeply regret any confusion this might have caused."
