Don't know what authority you're appealing to when you say, "...meant to be...", but my dictionary's first definition of line is, "a continuous mark or band made ona surface."

Is "threadjacking a thread about oxymorons" an oxymoron?

But, as such, it is. It's a bit of a metaphysical mobius strip, if you think about it. But perhaps I phrased my question poorly.
