welding on frame (grain structure?)

this question is for "jiggs" or anybody who'd care to enlighten me. in a previous post about making a lwb into a swb jiggs states that you should never weld vertically on the frame cuz it will mess up the grain structure. i think i understand the part about grain structure from my schooling in metallurgy, but what do you mean about welding vertically specifically? i have no plans to weld on mine, i just want to understand the do's and don'ts for future reference.
