I have never read a Rossi lie, and I kept thinking that maybe I was just missing them, but if this is what you call a lie, then No, he is not lying. He's answering the question the way I would answer it, which is in the context of the question. If the question is "Was it sent back?", then the implication is that it was returned as unusable with the sale revoked. Any other context in which it may have been returned is not relevant to the question and no other answer is correct. Craig
