It may be a bit OTT to make it a rule not to post links to FB-only photos but perhaps a request not to do so would be in order

No, there should not be a prohibition to do anything like that. Post your photos where you want. For those who do not, or never will have a Facebook account, the pictures are not visible. I resisted joining FB for years and years, and lasted about one year when I realized that every idle word, or every post anyone puts on your page is indelible, and even if one deletes a post, it is still saved in the "master file" or some such named place. There are some things that people posted on my page that are not at all things with which I want to be associated, or point to groups or people that I consider either unpatriotic or perhaps borderline illegal, and it becomes "my wall", and cannot be genuinely deleted, I shy away.

I'm not generally paranoid. But when someone is keeping every syllable for some unknown future use, I do tend to become suspicious of their (or their subsequent investigators') likely motives.

The main point here is that when people put a link to a Facebook page, or say, "see my pictures here", they miss many of us. That's fine in and of itself. If I say that I have some great photos from an event printed and stored in a binder on my bookshelf, what's the point? Few have access to my living room, so to speak.
