Nobody's competing, we made our own arrangements before discussion of big
busses started.

I see the column header on the original departures list[1], which was
deprecated when sponsored shuttles stopped being feasible, has been changed
so it's no longer deprecated.
It's not fair to make such a change and then complain that people are
listed under it. I dislike your implication that I have done something
wrong and I feel your tone is unnecessarily accusatory.

I think you misunderstand the purpose of this "competing" bus. Before there
was any other talk of co-ordinated buses, we arranged this minibus because
we are all eight on the same flight and wish to avoid the risk of public
transport being full as well as having to wait around at the airport longer
than necessary.
I won't be offended if others who have an early flight make a similar
arrangement of their own, but taking over ours is not reasonable.
(I'm still trying to work out what problem you're trying to solve.)

I cannot be held responsible for anybody but me listing themselves twice.
Now that I know the parameters have changed I will, of course, remove
myself. For the record, I was never listed on your RentABus list at any
stage.
