    How should the following sentence be punctuated?

    "the discussion doesn't seem to be on other more readable Usenet archives"


    (1) the discussion doesn't seem to be on other (more readable) Usenet archives

    (2) the discussion doesn't seem to be on other, more readable Usenet archives

    (3) the discussion doesn't seem to be on other, more readable, Usenet archives

    -------- not grammatical, or maybe it's ok


    (4) the discussion doesn't seem to be on other more-readable Usenet archives

    So i think they may all be ok, including the original.
