Why do you use /opt rather than /local? If you use /local for something else, how do you distinguish between stuff that goes in /local and stuff that goes in /opt?

I use both if i download a file say Star Office or OSS_SMP or something like that I just toss it in opt. I have done that since I started using linux and haven't had a problem. If this is improper I wish someone would let me know but if it works why change. Mainly I put files I download in there and if for some reason like a sys upgrade or a freak accident I still have my files in /opt. "A well-made source tarball will install its files to /usr/local/."
