I looked at it, and even one as massive as Krakatoa (sp) wouldn't have much of an effect because the redistribution of mass needed doesn't happen because the mass ejected by the volcano doesn't reach escape velocity. At the same time the sheer scale of the earth mass and the effects of the sons gravity wouldn't be overcome by the power of the bigger eruptions.

At least that seems to be the consensus.
