others dont seem to agree on that ...

So what? The sum is obviously infinite. This
is clear by comparison with the integral of
1/(x^2 + y^2) over the set of (x,y) in the
first quadrant with x^2 + y^2 > 1 (that
integral is obviously infinite. Hint:
polar coordinates.)

(Nobody's said what the sum _is_, by the way.)
