About being careful not to post the private key. I would be embarrassed
to accidentally upload my private key. I recall PGP 1 having a "keypair"
with a fingerprint of the private key and public key however in this new
gpg2 it appears the same fingerprint identifies both the seckey and
pubkey. Is the long ID actually a fingerprint of the pubkey even when
identifying the seckey within gpg2?
The fingerprint identifies the key pair, not the public or secret
component separately, and is always calculated from the public key. If a
key appears to have multiple fingerprints, it will be because there are
one or more subkeys.
