Personalities: The "Flame Thrower"

The Flame Thrower knows how to create chaos in an organization, and work the crowd into a cascading e-mail frenzy. They often lurk in the shadows of all-office e-mail distribution list, and wait for the perfect time to strike. If, for example, the entire office is on an “NCAA March Madness” e-mail list, the Flame Thrower will toss a comment suggesting the favored team “sucks.” Before long, the Flame Thrower’s opening salvo is lost in a sea of acrimonious e-mail back and forth.

I’m a little confused about why we have Martin Luther
King’s birthday off but not Columbus Day?
