Well, YMMV, but I didn't think that saying how quickly one has achieved a walk from terminal A to the far end of terminal D, was relevant or helpful to the OP, or to anyone faced with a 35 minute RJ to mainline ATL connection, or indeed, to any discusson about
connection times. To me, your comment was a little like someone asking about the TATL service on DL and someone else posting a response with a trip report on LAX-SYD on QF.
