I know. I had between 40 and 50 lenses in the past 20 years and still own about a dozen...
The thing is, a 72mm thred would be perfectly fine for the 35G! Even the bajonet hood would still fit and 72mm would at least match other actual Nikkor lenses (105DC, 135DC, 180). I see no sane point in introducing the odd 67mm into the Nikkor fix focal lenght lineup...
I use a 67-77mm step-up ring with a perfectly fitting short 77mm metal hood now. The lens is not prone to flare anyway and the orginal bajonet hood is quite bulky.
I often think Nikon engeneers have no real clue how a photographer has to struggle to fit their oversized lenses in a decend bag. (I could rant on this for hours and have a closet full of bags to proove it... <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

hmm.. The Canon 35mm f1.4 has a 72mm filter thread. The Sony 35mm f1.4 has a 55mm thread!
