I guess based on your email address that you're in Italy, so probably you don't know that "KKK" has a very, very bad connotation in the United States where many of the Cygwin subscribers reside.
KKK is short for the Ku Klux Klan, a violently racist vigilante group that originated in the American South. It formed after our Civil War when American chattel slavery became unconstitutional and its members terrorized black Americans (and others) for decades. The organization still exists, sadly, and still perpetrates violent acts, though far fewer than it did in the early and mid 20th century.
The name KKK is extremely offensive to many people, most of all to black Americans, but many non-black people find it offensive, too.
I'd like to respectfully suggest that you change the name portion of your email address to something will a less distasteful connotation.
Sincerely,
