disagree  Lumen (X): Not really.... I know the meaning of *on the line* but that is not the case here and the Portuguese expression you used does not make any sense in this context.

  -> Yes, really - when something is "on the line" it is "in danger" of not happening. Perhaps the Portuguese is incorrect to convey this concept, but it definitely means "in danger" of not ocurring in English. - Mike :)
