Does ?8n=11log(en+e-n) converge or diverge?

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2241955/does-sum-n-1-infty-frac1-logene-n-converge-or-diverge

"I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is
completely trivial. 1log(en+e-n) is extremely close to 1n for large ns
and the harmonic series is divergent."
