   I may have missed it, but I don’t think you actually said ‘solicited’ in the post to which Tim was responding.

“Invited”, “solicited”. Same thing, no?

Not quite, in my view, but putting the differences aside, you said:

“I didn’t say “expected”; I said solicited.”

What you probably should have said was:

“I didn’t say “expects”; I said invites.” (or something similar).

Paying attention to such detail may make it clearer for your readers.

Hope that helps

Cheers
