There is an easy solution.

Report the pull data as now done - with the exception RO-M/L eliminated 
- to the AERC on the forms. The AERC puts all data including pull codes 
in the data base. The results are printed in the EN and reported on the 
AERC site with all pulls listed as DNF or DQ.

The data would be there, just not visible to the public.

I personally don't see that it would matter much. The folks that object 
to L, M etc. would most likely object to DNF or DQ. If people are 
running from a stigma of not finishing - it matters little the reason it 
only matters that they did not finish.
