It is proposed that node alignment across an inclined ring is maintained by the self-gravity of the ring, which cancels the tendency for differential node precession due to the planet's multiple moments. The analysis is confined to circular rings, which is a self-consistent approximation because the interactions among circular and inclined ringlets do not generate secular perturbations of eccentricity.
