I guess I was just under the impression that you would still treat both halves of the SSH key like a password.
To be honest it's not possible for me to keep my public key private because I have access to so many different customer's servers.
That's the reason why I create a new key pair for almost every server.
So in most cases, especially when I'm not on my computer, it's just easier for me, to tell someone that she/he can find my public key on my website and I'll replace my key with the new one later.

Ahh.. Ya, that definitely makes sense. Thanks for sharing the insight!
