And why would your way be better? Please explain your reasoning.
Don't give me the line about it being on the shingle wrapper, because
Owen Corning's instructions show "vertical racking" as the proper
method, (Perhaps they are a bit more up on the way the vast majority
of roofs are laid down in this country) In fact, they recommend
against running shingles across and diagonally.

Well, I read those directions and it does say to NOT run the shingles across and
diagonally up but there are no reasons given. Can anyone give me a reason why
those shingles should not be run across?
