In defence of the comments about Best.
Yes we are members of ATSCO (as are agencies that total about 45% of the total UK marketplace) but we don't support IR35 in any way.

I think the only honourable thing for any member to do is to either resign or go on record with an open letter objecting to their handling of the affair.
Ok, so going wildly off-topic here. I think the message has got through (Best think IR35 is bad and provide best means possible to get round it) but Mark's point is also valid. If Best want to distinguish themselves in the marketplace, a well-publicised open letter would do the job.
Either way. Job postings to ALUG lists: good. Massive commercial blurb in said postings: bad. This thread: should be dead ;-)
Andrew.
