   There is a bug in the article.sty (and probably other .sty as well) coursing
   pagenumbers ALWAYS to be printed at page 1.
   Problem is that \maketitle and \titlepage executes \thispagestyle{plain}
   during processing.

Bug? It's part of the design of the standard article style. It was
never intended to do everything you want.

   When some one asked this question about a month ago, I made him this
   .sty file which fixes the problem.

No need do these things in such a complicated way. Just put a 

\thispagestyle{empty}

immediately after \maketitle (no empty line in between).
