The bitmarmot stuff was pretty funny. One of the most bizarre criticisms of BitShares I've yet seen. I felt pretty sad that so many people seemed to be taking it so seriously.
You asked about a rich list, and people told you that we don't have one because of TITAN. I thought I'd explain a little more - the way TITAN works, every single transaction gets a unique address. This makes it very difficult to tell what the balance is in each registered account, since there is no easy way to tell which addresses are owned by which accounts. So we could have a "rich list" of addresses, but it wouldn't be very interesting because the vast majority of addresses are only used one time ever and then thrown away. So a rich list would give you some limited information about recent large transactions, but wouldn't tell you anything at all about who owns what.
