Hello,
I understand your frustration. But, as far as I can tell, and I've been members of this kind of communities, that's not the way to get answers. First of all, you have to describe your question really clearly. Unless you do so not many people will say that they didn't understand what you're asking for. You'll get nothing instead.
And second, you have to show that you spent some effort trying to solve the problem yourself. Without this nobody will be willing to write code for you while all you do is ask and wait. You should try to understand how the code works, then ask specific smaller questions.
And third, I've never seen that begging for help works.
And last, these are not the definitive rules, these are some of my observations and I don't always follow them either.

For almost a week now I have not made the ArticleSave hook works. Has anyone done this before? Please help!!!
Problem: I would like to insert into the ArticleSave hook a simple php function (that does nothing but returns true) as following:
function myFunction() { return true; }
Background: I need to collect and compile some statistics of all posts and display them to a special page. The most natural way is when the Save Page button is hit, a php function (myFunction) will do the work and after that resume back to saving of the current page as normal. I have posted this problem here twice before, Erik Moeller has helped me to analyze the problem and guided me to read /docs/hooks.doc. I understand (I think so.) the concept, but have not been able to implemented. The above problem is the most reduced version of what I would like to do. I need to be over that hump before I can do anything else. Please help by giving me a step by step instructions. Please!!!
