, that does use the words "solicitation", "not applicable", and "hedge fund". But no, "cash solicitation rule" has nothing to do with Reg D safe harbor.

Correct......Solicitation was the issue, on ET.
Rule 502 of Regulation D contains detailed guidelines as to the type and intensity of financial and non-financial information to be supplied to the non-accredited investors. While the intensity of the information required to be delivered to non-accredited investors varies by the size of the offering, the general disclosure requirements follow the guidelines for small public offerings on SEC Form SB-1 or SEC Form SB-2. In any event, an issuer would be wise to follow the outlines provided in these forms as they are comprehensive checklists of information relating to all material aspects of a business, including its financial position. The document that normally is used in connection with disclosures is known as either an offering memorandum or a private placement memorandum. Companies desiring to issue securities should have a formal business plan prepared as a starting point for complying with any required disclosures. Appropriate risk factors will be developed and added to a business plan, and together the materials form the basis for compliance with any applicable Regulation D disclosure requirements.
