If you send smaller transactions to yourself you can combine the dust transactions and create larger inputs.

OK, I've sent the largest amount that I was able (200 mBTC, with a fee of 16 mBTC) to a new address in my wallet. If I try to move any of the remainder, it will be largely eaten up by high fees.

It seems to me that this problem is going to affect tens of thousands of users who are frantically collecting as much bitdust as they can from all the free BTC websites. They will end up with a large balance that will be difficult or impossible to spend.

Solution, warn suckers not to frequent sites that dust your wallet with unspendable crap in exchange for making you click on ads at an earning rate that translates to about $0.01 an hour.

It's not that simple
by 2040 when all coins have been produced transactions that small will be common
the current pay/transfer is way out of wack
demanding exorbitant fees for less than a min of computer time is a crime
