Even with a lesser receiver, I allow plenty of frequency spacing between myself and another station on CW, recognizing that the other station may not have superb selectivity. Around the CW QRP frequencies, I often allow a full kHz and several hundred Hz on other frequencies.
When getting ready to transmit on new frequency I always open up the selectivity before sending "QRL?" so I can hear if anyone nearby responds who I would never hear with less selectivity. Besides, as others observed, other stations are often not quite on frequency and the CQing station using narrow selectivity may just keep heating the aether while others are trying to respond just outside of his bandpass.
