Yes, I did. I called Delta and asked about the status match. They claimed to know nothing about it, however, when I mentioned the process of faxing my statement from other qualifying elite status program (AA PLAT, in my case), she all of a sudden knew what I was talking about. She provided me with the fax number that was listed earlier in this thread to Delta. I took a couple minutes and typed up a quick letter explaining why I wanted DL elite status: change in business travel patterns, frustrations with AA (not really though), desire to give business to DL, etc. It took maybe 3-4 weeks since I had sent the fax for them to change my elite status to Gold Medallion. I actually found out, when they had pulled me from my economy seat at the gate and informed me of the upgrade. What a terrific surprise! Best of luck to you.

Any luck on UA or USAIR matching AA status?
