Yes, right now Gnus blocks when getting new news/mail.  But some people
are experimenting with asynchronously performing such longrunning ops
(see async.el from John Wiegley), and there's Tom Tromey experimenting
with threads in emacs.  So the situation may become better in the middle
term.

It'll deliver the posting to your local leafnode, and that propagates it
back to your "real" news server.

You could use gnus-notifications to get notifications on new news/mail.
And you could use scoring so that replies to your messages get a very
high score, and then sort according to score.

Oh, sounds about what I've just suggested.  But I think
gnus-notifications currently notifies regardless of score or other
predicates.  Probably, this cannot be done easily, because I think
scores are computed not until you enter a summary buffer which it
doesn't do.  Julien will know the definitive answer.

Bye,
