I don't think there's another document that describes Gnus as
comprehensively as the manual.

What do you mean with instantly seeing them?  You can make them more
eye-catching with scoring.  In my ~/.gnus.el I have

  (add-hook 'message-sent-hook 'gnus-score-followup-article)
  (add-hook 'message-sent-hook 'gnus-score-followup-thread)

which scores up followups to my postings.  Articles with higher score
are displayed with another face and you can sort the summary buffer by
score.

HTH,
Tassilo
