That definition of soliciting here in the UK is better known as cold canvassing, Soliciting is much more interesting as the dictionary definition shows:I see that this is my 2^10 post. A retired computer nerd's milepost, for sure.
At the two entrances to my subdivision are prominently posted "No Soliciting" signs.
Nonetheless, from time to time a young person rings my doorbell and knocks on the door. I point out to each that "No Soliciting" signs are posted at each entrance.
Invariably, they reply, "Oh no, I'm not soliciting, I'm just ..."
Solicitinging British English
