I am looking at building something around anemone but am wary that it will use a lot of my servers bandwidth. Am I right in guessing that anemone spiders from the server it lives on and not the client side that runs it?

I am using a lot of my own validation methods to compare the data from one association to the other. I've noticed that I'm constantly checking that my associations aren't nil before trying to call anything on them, but I am also validating their presence, and so I feel that my nil checks are redundant.
