Which, by the way, is known by every server of every website you go to. Believe me when I say, just so long as you have a decent firewall and a good up to date AV, it doesn't matter who knows your IP address.

And the connect directly option is an attempt to improve reliability by reducing server load and sending messages directly to the contact.
