Seems to me that nobody has responded to Mitch's real original question; rather the
responses have been to how to understand the sequence in the Greek text. I don't
think any "authority" or justification for the NET note about an alternative punctuation
is called for -- it's pretty clearly a matter of interpretation, and as such really lies outside
the scope of anything that is clearly present in the Greek text AS a Greek text.
