By means of statistical analyses on the Lick maps, the reported alignment effects of brightest cluster galaxies and ellipticals with the neighboring galaxy distribution, are confirmed. No peculiarities in the distribution around spirals and S0 were found, suggesting a lack of correlation of angular momentum with the neighboring galaxy distribution. It is found that the alignment signals are consistent with the presence of filaments or sheets of galaxies running across clusters and ellipticals rather than with a single overdensity on one side of these structures.
