This is one of those things I've learned over the years: if there are only two characters in the tag set and unposted letters, offer both characters NOT ANY because otherwise you will match to one of those other requests who have definitely requested A/unnominated C instead of A/B that you thought you were offering.

You have to offer at least two characters, or any.

Offering A and B can match you to the person who only asked for A and used their optional details to DNW A/B and prompt for A/C.

There's no way to escape these requests.

If you offer both characters, you can still match to someone requesting one (and unnominated other).
