+Note from the above example that if you don't wrap the `net.Socket` in a
+ `TLSSocket`, then the connect works as expected.If you're using TLS from
+the start, then just use `tls.connect()`.But if you pass in a `net.Socket`, 
+you start the `net.Socket`.
+The following explains it:
+
+```js
+var Socket = require('net').Socket;
+var tls = require('tls');
+var sock = new Socket();
+var secureSock = tls.connect({ socket: s }, function() {
+  console.log("The tls socket connected. Yay!");
+});
+sock.connect({port: 6697, host: "irc.freenode.net"});
+```
