Title: Remove confusing piping from "roll your own socket.io" example

The piping from the client-side parser back to the server seems to be superfluous (as the server doesn't read from the socket, unless it's something to do with 'end') and is very confusing to people trying to understand what is going on in this example. Trust me on that ;)

If it's not superfluous I would be very grateful if you could explain it in the surrounding text...
