This thread has taught me that etiquette is strictly in the eyes of the beholder and that I was wrong, so if I see any of you on our socal locals from now on, expect me to jump 100 feet ahead of you. That'll give you about 2 minutes to fish before you catch me (and I suspect with me playing the part of the dead horse.)
I do agree that etiquette varies from river to river. Thank Gawd I don't have to fish the San Juan, the Red, the White, or Kenai. I can honestly say, I'd take up golf again. At least there folks give you about 300 yards--unless they want smacked with a golf ball. Come to think of it, when I palyed gold, folks weren't safe from my drives if they were anywhere within a 300 yard radius. Had a wicked slice that sometimes hooked.
Fish on folks, and rest assured, I'll still give you space, even if it means driving to another pullout or hiking that extra 1/4 mile.

There are some other rivers to strike off your list, The Delaware, The Frying Pan, The Farmington, The Housatonic, The Beaverkill and any river in New Jersey.
