"us guys, who are not part of Anonymous"
Anyone can be part of Anonymous at any time just by saying so. At least, this is my idea of Anonymous. If Anonymous is doing something you like, you can either follow instructions that some other random (possibly secretly organized) person/group has posted to the internet, or you can simply decide what you think would be a productive action for you to take. Anonymous doesn't like Organization X, and wished to cause them economic harm by DDoSing their servers, you join in the DDoS, or, if you are more thoroughly versed in infosec, you can engage in a different sort of attack. If you don't support what Anonymous is doing at that particular moment, you can simply choose not to participate.
My idea of Anonymous is that it changes from day to day, both in members and in structure. It may become more or less organized depending on who views themself as a member on that particular day, or who supports the currently popular "operation".
This may be a naive, misinformed, or idealistic view, but it's the view I've always had. Anonymous can't be disassembled, since you could imprison every member of Anonymous today, and tomorrow an entirely different group of people could reconstitute it to just as much effect.
I would be glad to hear alternative opinions of the nature of Anonymous.
