Is it a crack?

My Giant FCR3 has recently developed a creak from the seatpost, which I have as high as it can with the minimum insert still hidden. I cleaned and re-greased the seatpost, rails etc and the noise went away for about 2 weeks. Its back, and I have just noticed what looks like a hairline crack in the paint. I've done a quick diagram on paint to illustrate.
Given the location and direction of the mark, would you say its a crack or a scratch?
I've got a longer seatpost coming from wiggle as current one is an inch too short. This will hopefully help with the creak too.

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

To stop the creak wrap some insulating tape round the sleeve making the seat post a push fit. Regarding the frame being cracked I would think it most unlikely.0
