LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

… and you are a great problem solver.

Some of us have chosen to have the flexibility and lens options the
DSLR provides us. For the most part dust is not a problem (certainly if
it is only visible in the view finder.)
Taking care when changing lenses is the best prevenative.

Once sensor dust is detected those of us who have the skills will clean
that low pass filter ourselves or fix images with PS.

For the most part P&S digitals do a good job within their limitations
and your demands are probably adequately filled with your dust free P&S.
I would say your noise problems with high ISO shots due to small sensor
size, especially with a high MP P&S are a bigger problem than dust will
ever be to a quality DSLR of any make.

The OP had a problem and helpful posters tried to help, some did, you
did not.

Oh, I've heard him diss us DSLR folks before. Haven't quite killfiled
him yet because he amuses me. I'm only recently a convert to DSLR, had
P&S cameras for 10 years. I'll never go back, and not being stupid,
knew going in that dust would be one of those issues one has to deal
with when you have the flexibility of swapping lenses. Especially here,
in the desert.
