Mailing list forums predate web-based forums by quite a bit. They’ve evolved their own etiquettes. E.g. see http://www.gweep.ca/~edmonds/usenet/ml-etiquette.html#SECTION00090000000000000000

From the screenshot in your first email, it looks like you are running the Equity Statement report starting from June 30, 2012 ending August 1, 2012. From your second email, you have $555,300CR in your ‘Equity:Kevin Gilmour, Capital’ account. The GL entry(ies) which put this $555,300CR in the account–are they by chance made on or after June 30, 2012? That would explain the report showing $0 starting capital.

Usually GnuCash reports allow you to pick and choose different accounts to include in reports. See the help for report customisation using report options.
