Kant's Cleavage II

I just came across Putnam's account of analyticity. Here it is.

S is analytic iff S is deducible from the sentences in a finite list at the top of which someone who bears the ancestral of the graduate-student relation to Carnap has printed the words 'Meaning Postulate'.

This should settle the matter once and for all.
