All I can say, as both a senior tech writer and the spouse of a former museum curator, is that if anybody sent me a resume that used "curate" as a verb in any context unrelated to museums or science, it would immediately go into the Highly Suspect category.
...Except that I can also say that this thread has also had the most impressive display of failures to trim unnecessary inclusions of previous messages that I have seen in a long time!
Ken, curmudgeon hat firmly in place
