The form handling is pretty primitive - there appears to be no 
alternative to manually setting up each form option, but it pushes the 
collected data straight into a spreadsheet.  Finding a short cut for 
google forms would be a good answer...

I also went off and looked at SurveyMonkey and SurveyGizmo.  Creating 
the form is much simpler - just paste in a set of options, one per line, 
and it just works... but you need a paid account to export the collected 
data as a spreadsheet (free accounts only allow info to be seen 
internally) and their pricing starts fairly high for low usage. 
Actually this is to the extent you think its worth starting up a trial 
account 4 times a year (seems like a bad business model for them).

Had a look - that does propagation of schedules to collections of 
recipients - rather than collecting responses.
