If you read my posting, not its misquotation, it should all become clear to 
you.

No, you are not.

And we have already found the point, through Voyager, where there is no more 
solar wind.  If you considered that and did the math incorporating the 
distance to the nearest star, you would see that “squeezing between stars” 
is not the appropriate expression to use for the effect on any "dust" that 
might exist between stars, and that it certainly could not account for the 
dark matter needed to explain rotation curves and gravitational lensing, the 
fact aside that it exhibits different physical properties than dark matter.

Furthermore, you are also ignorant of the actual particle density in 
interplanetary and interstellar space – which we now know, thanks to the 
Voyager probes.  Put simply, there is insufficient "dust" that could be 
"blown away" from stars to be "squeezed between stars" even if the 
heliospheres would be much larger than they actually are and the distances 
between neighboring stars would be much shorter than they actually are.  
There is an interplanetary dust cloud in the Sol System (from comet trails 
etc.), but 1) most of the dust in a star system goes into or forms into 
stars, its planets, asteroids, and occasionally comets and 2) its mass is 
too small to account for dark matter.

There are dust clouds where there are *no* stars in the vicinity (because 
their solar wind *does* push the dust away within their heliosphere (but 
different to your misconception, not it is originating from the star, but 
the solar wind is), and they do not consist of dark matter either.

That is _not_ a properly separated Usenet signature.
