[Spread-users] producer/consumer queue via spread.

[John Lane Schultz]

That solution only works if no one else is sending to the group and you have 
group membership turned off.

If you really want just a producer, with no reads, then the most simple and 
efficient route is to simply not SP_join to the group.

Cheers!
