An interesting snippet - apart from 2 and 3, all prime numbers can be expressed as 6n+1 or 6n-1.
A little algebra, however, soon explains why.

Thank you. And that is why I'm reluctant to show it. I've already had one of my papers stolen after being assured that my work being the earliest was enough proof of authorship.

I have devised a method for generating prime numbers. Is there one already in existence?
Since you're not telling us anything about this magical algorithm, we're entirely unable to assess it. But I ... |

My method is better and more efficient. It does involve a two step filter after generating "prime candidates." It sounds like it may be valuable. Who should I see?
Any technique that generates or ... |

I looked up the Eratosthenes sieve, the Atkin(?) sieve, and the wheel sieve. They do not generate primes; they eliminate non-primes. I generate primes.

One, perhaps now not so, unfortunate consequence of my method is that it also generates some products of primes. This is what must be filtered out after generating the candidates.
See, I knew that ... |

That's logically impossible. A program cannot generate an infinite number of primes in a finite amount of tim ... |
