So....? Sort of stating the obvious. :-) We don't do that because we
don't know where to keep the hand-baked Matzos until the last day...
:-)

BTW: The Maggid, Rav Sholom Shvadron zt"l told the story of how - long
before he became famous - nobody in London invited him for the Seder,
since he insisted in using his (Yerushalmi) machine Matzos.

- Danny, who allowed a guest to use hand-baked Matzos this year at the
Seder, since he doesn't really beleive that they are Chometz.
