Answer 1

late but better than never ;)

I had smth like this:

io.on('connection', function(socket){
    socket.emit('some event', data);
    socket.on('private event', function(message){
        this.emit('other private event', message);
    }
}

After some testing, I realized that 'this.emit' inside 'private event' closure send back only to sender. So i tried 'this.broadcast.emit', which send the message to all connected except the sender. I believe this is what you want from your code.
