From loiswakeman/Lois (16,407) on February 10, 2012 4:12:55 AM CST Yes - it's always a good idea to follow conventions to prevent user confusion - but in this case, a minute looking at the page would probably have sorted things out. But then I'm a tech author and probably a bit too nerdy for my own good - I know most people dislike reading instructions if they can help it, and asking a question is always easier than doing research - ask any help desk employee!

From wdeon/Wayne (8,931) on February 10, 2012 4:50:07 AM CST I actually had someone post a question to me on a site today asking me how many volcanoes there were in Japan. I live in Japan but....... um.... I am not a human wiki. He should have spent the time searching it himself. Reply

From log/Louise (27,206) on February 10, 2012 8:30:47 AM CST Good grief... has anyone ever counted them all? Including all the extinct ones, and do you count the little ones within giant calderas? Reply

From wdeon/Wayne (8,931) on February 11, 2012 4:21:06 AM CST Apparently the Japan Meteorological Agency keeps track. There are more active volcanoes here than I though. A whopping 108 out of 840 worldwide. The two most active, don't go near the volcano ones, are only 20 and 54km from my house. This link should work but didn't when I clicked it before. No idea why.

From log/Louise (27,206) on February 11, 2012 4:25:42 AM CST Oh wow... The Japan Meteorological Agency tracks not only cherry blossom, but volcanoes too? I thought the question might have included extinct ones, but I suppose there has to be a limit somewhere. Thanks for the links. Reply
