Why do you need to interrupt the thread in order to send data?  You 
should be able to just get the output stream from the socket when you 
create it, and then use that any time you want to send data.

The thread that reads from the socket shouldn't need to be responsible 
for sending at all (except possibly as an optimization in the case where 
it knows right away it has something to send as a response to something 
it's just read).
