norgatem,

I must tell you that ever since you opened up my mind to the concept of efflux, I've been thinking of my own body's cells busily effluxing metal--in other words: conceptually my mind has easily accepted the action-verbacious 'efflux' as a very useful one for describing a process I'd like to know more about.

Interesting, don't you agree, how something incorrect can cause hundreds of new thoughts? Efflux has been flexing its thought-inspiring muscles.
