I'm not sure I understand your answer. Maybe my question was unclear... I am publishing messages onto a topic. If my app isn't running I'm happy for those messages to disappear. AND I don't want a backlog of messages when I switch my app on. I want topic behaviour, not queue behaviour (which is what I'm getting when I create a subscriber).
