I've seen clients that could do that sort of thing fairly easily
(probable Forte Inc's Agent, or it might have been Thule's Thor), there
was a setting to automatically watch any replies to your own messages,
then you'd read the "watched" messages.  You could watch any thread by
hitting the W key on top of it, then it and all its children would be
marked to be watched.

I dunno about doing it with Thunderbird, though.  I found it an
appallingly crap usenet client.  I'd be looking for other solutions.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
