It sounded like there were two questions:

1) What is the right number of moderators per comment for HN

2) Do you think that number would generalize to other forums.

In that case the answers are I don't know. We don't have many moderators, and I mostly think it would be a mistake to try to solve HN's problems by adding more official moderation.
